Quick Launch sort order

[Chris]

Hi all-
Recently my Quick Launch icons sorted themselves
alphabetically. If I change them, they change back to
ABC order. If I close the tool bar and re-open it, they
are still sorted in ABC. Any thoughts?

There's nothing you can do about it - it's built in and is a feature not a
bug.

One of these will fix it. Note it is saved on logoff.
