    Arranging Folders ?


    Hello,

    I have a Folder with about 20 sub-Folders in it.

    When I click on the main higher level one, all the sub-Folders show up in nice, neat, alphabetical order.

    Is there any way to arrange them how I want, non-alphabetically ?

    And, is there any way to arrange them sort of like on the Desktop ?
    e.g., with spaces or gaps between them ?

    Thanks,
    Bob
