When Microsoft introduced the active desktop in Internet Explorer 4, they also introduced a new feature that allows you to put the menu items in the Start Menu or your Internet Explorer Favorites menu in any order you choose. Unfortunately, after you do this, even unintentionally, Windows will no longer sort shortcuts in these menus automatically. In order to put them in alphabetical order, you have to move them by hand. 

MenuSnap fixes this problem so Windows will once again sort the shortcuts in your Start menu and Internet Explorer menu. It accomplishes this by removing the menu order information that is stored in your registry. Once this information has been removed, Windows will once again sort the menu shortcuts alphabetically by name.
