Organized drag/drop on Start Menu?

In years past I used to move items all around my Start Menu to put
things where I wanted them. I create my own various folders like,
Games, Desktop Publishing, Multimedia, Communications, etc.
As a good example, say I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird to see if
I like it for e-mail. I would install it and it would end up
generically in the Start Menu at the bottom of the list. I would then
drag it to my Communications folder and place it, alphabetically where
I want it. However, I also put folders first alphabetically and then
single icons below all the folders also alphabetically.
The issue is that in times past if I did this, I could drag the
"Thunderbird" folder to Communications and then place it right where
it needed to go and drop it there and it would stay.
Today what it's doing is I drop it where it goes. When I return to the
menu item it's always not where I left it but at the bottom of the
section now and I have to move it a second time to get it where it
goes.
I assumed this was a change MS made somewhere along the way and that
this functionality was lost. However I recently installed XP SP2 on a
family members PC (I run XP SP2 as well) and much to my surprise, it
worked for them exactly the way it used to work for me.
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing on my setup to cause
this two-step behavior? I've re-installed my own OS a few times since
this started and it's always been there through the re-installs which
is why I assumed it was a function change.
