But this does not really solve the problem, and folders will still be above
individual links.
This website has a forum discussion about it:

There appears to be a problem with the registry:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MicrosoÂ* Â* ft/Windows/CurrentVersion/ExplorerÂ* Â*
/MenuOrder/Favorites
Is there an entry named Order? If that entry is missing then I think that IE
will sort the "folder" alphabetically."
Anyway, running regedit is a bit too scary for me, and I wonder if there is
an easier way round.
