Default XP - Start - All Programs (unable to sort folders/files)

When I select START, All Programs the folders are not sorted alphabetically.
If I right click with my mouse on one of the folders nothing happens.

My right button on the mouse is set to:

context menu/alternate select

Does anyone have any idea why I cannot sort my folders?

If you mean that you can see a list of folders, then a list of items
and then other folders and items: this is by design. The upper part of
the Start Menu contains the items in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL
USERS\START MENU, the lower part is from C:\DOCUMENTS AND
SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU.

Open the Taskbar & Start Menu Properties dialog, click the 'customize' button, 'Advanced' tab -
under 'Start menu items:', Check 'Enable dragging & dropping'.

This will restore right-click functionality to the items
