The windows xp star menu adds new entries to the end of the list even though you have sorted it alphabetically before by right-clicking and choosing to sort the entries by name. Most users who sort their start menu alphabetically donÂ’t like it when new entries to the start menu are added at the bottom of the list. Looks bad, causes confusion.
Fortunately there is a registry hack that changes the default sort order to alphanumeric instead of date. Open your registry editor by pressing Windows + R and typing regedit to open the registry. Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\StartMenu\Programs
Make sure you backup the key (programs) or the complete registry before you proceed. After you have done that delete the key order in the right window. Once this is done new entries will also be sorted alphabetically.
