This is because the sort order is stored in the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites
Import/Export Wizard will not record this key.

Hi, I just transferred my IE6 Favorites from one computer to another, using
the Export/Import function. The problem is now that they are all
alphabetical. Previously, I had them arranged in a special order, depending
on how often I visited that site. I could reorder them, but this would take
forever, since I have 1000's of favorites. Is there any way to fix this?
What if I did a manual copy and paste, instead of importing/exporting?
Thanks for any help!
Julie
