How do I the change order of favorites in favorites center

In my favorites center, how can I manage the order of my
favorites. I thought I remember dragging them into the order I wanted
them in, but it seems like now they just go back to the original place.
I use some of my favorites more than others so I would like to have the
option of reordering them.

Thank You,

Shellster

Try this. Prefix those favorites you want to appear on top with sequential
numbers. I use "1_favoritename" followed by "2_" "3_" "4_" etc., etc.
Actually I only use numbers and a single space.

Re: How do I the change order of favorites in favorites center

Thank You for trying to help. I tried your suggestion but it did not work, it
actually put the 2 favorites at the bottom of my favorites now. There has to
be a way to rearrange my favorites. I can drag and drop them but they go
right back to where they started.

Re: How do I the change order of favorites in favorites center

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).
