Hello, Is there a way to organize folders that are created in "Folders on My
Computer" in other than alphabetical order? I'm running 2008 and it seems that
all folders at the same level are kept in alphabetical order. This keeps me
from arranging folders as I see fit so as to keep them in some logical or
priority order that is meaningful to me. I know I can force a desired
collating sequence by using numbers or the like but I don't want to do this. I
searched this Entourage forum regarding this question but didn't see any
relevant information.

Not without using some sort of name change either through numbers, spaces,
symbols. I use the @, $ and spaces.

You can also drag folders to the Favorites bar in any order you like. Be
sure to use subfolders to keep your folders organized. Dragging the root
folder to favorites will quickly take you to the subfolders.

Hope this helps!
