I did a search and am coming up blank. Is there a way to auto-sort the start "menu" alphabetically? The whole "move to top" is a very computer science type challenge involving the a lot of "moving to top" every time you add a new app.

I've found JWMD Icon Changer to be very nice for this. I only have to run it once every time I add a new program.

Unfortunately, if you have already "Move to Top"-ed a lot of programs, you will need to "Move Down" them all if you want to sort them. That's because clicking "Move to Top" actually adds the item to a "favorites" list that keeps them on top of all sorted items.

Ugh. Sounds like MS dropped the ball on this simple issue. Thanks for the reference.
