If it's IE, hit the Alt key so the old style command menu bar appears temporarily, and select Favorites, then Organize Favorites in the drop-down list.

Got it !!

I knew I had "right clicked" previously but could not get it to work but have just sorted it:-

Drop down list of Favourites
Click "Organize Favourites
Click on one of the items to highlight it
Rt click on that ...and another menu appears with "sort by name" on
Click on that and it is all re arrange i in alphabetical order

You don't even have to go into "Organise Favourites".

Just right click anywhere in a list and a menu including "Sort by Name" comes up.

Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)
