Raj--
What I meant to say to be clear is that I find it much easier wanting to get
the same organization you want, to forget Favorites. I'm trying to get you
to take any web page that you want to "bookmark" as a "favorite" or "save as
a favorite" and get it into a Windows Explorer folder. Once you do that you
can get exactly the kind of organization you want. If you put any number of
shortcuts into a Windows Explorer folder, then they become subject to
Sorting by literally any of over 120 categories, including by name, by last
modified, by date, etc. and you can see the categories by right clicking the
icon in the lower left of the Vista Explorer folder, and I want you to focus
on this menu
1) Right click the icon which could be a generic folder icon if you haven't
modified it at the lower left of the Windows Explorer folder
2) A Right click context menu will pop up and the 2nd itme on the list will
be SORT BY and at the bottom of that slide out menu will be the category
sort by MORE. Click on more and you'll see a list of categories that can be
included at the top of the explorer folder and there are more than 120 of
them.
3) Then once you have checked the ones you want and situated them at the top
of the folder as a category, you have your sort by date and this is exactly
what you asked for.
Keep in mind that you can get the shortcut to the particular page you want
as an IE favorite to put in the folder by simply left click mouse dragging
the small "e" from the IE address bar to the desktop or to the folder you
want.
I also do this with newsgroup posts that I want to save, dragging them out
of Win Mail (you don't need to copy just dragging copies, and this also
applies to any folders you want to put in another folder.
I hope this is been clear because this is exactly what you are wanting to
do.
Notice that once you get the category you have selected from SORT BY MORE
you can click on the right side of the category and you will get a pull
down and you can sort in any of the ways available in that pulldown. I use
group.
