Arranging favourites by date in i.e 6

[Headtime]

I'm using i.e 6 at work , and have a bazillion favourites, but I can't seem to organize them by date.

Right clicking on the 'Favourites' drop down menu only has an option for 'Sort by name'. I've tried right clicking in the 'Favourites' folder in My Computer, and choosing arrange by date but to no avail. Any ideas? ta!

This won't be any help for the favourites you already have, but for your future ones, use the following to name them as you save them. Date first, in the format: year - month - date then the page title. That way, when you sort them alphabetically, the oldest ones will go first.

I'm not sure that there is a way to sort the ones you already have by date though. Hope this helps.

Thanks Shybear. I'm sure though there is a way to do it. It would be mad not for there to be. I'm convinced that the favourites on my home PC which runs WinME, and is in storage at the mo so I can't check, has the favouites in Date order.

I just can't work out how to do it for my existing favourites on my work 'pooter, which Runs Win2000.

You can re-organise your favourites by browsing to your favourites folder and by viewing the date modified you can sort them by date. You could then create folders for months or weeks and put the appropriate favourites in them.

Doh. I realised how you could do this after some checking, but I see that Kerplunk has beaten me to it. :)

Thanks you two. I suppose your method is a 'workaround'. But I thought you could select to view the list by name or by date. Maybe I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time!
