Vista - How to change Start Menu -> All Prog. sort order?

I have just upgraded to vista home premium and rearrange all my applications
within the Start Menu -> All Programs folder to appear in specific folders,
e.g.: all internet applications in 'Internet Tools', all programming apps in
'Programming', ...

Now, before I rearrange the order, the folders appeared before the files in
the list, such as:
Accessories (Folder)
Games (Folder)
Maintenace (Folder)
Windows Calendar (App)
Windows Contacts (App)
....

but now the applications appear before the folders:

Windows Calendar (App)
Windows Contacts (App)
Accessories (Folder)
Games (Folder)
Maintenace (Folder)
....

Is there any way to get the Start Menu -> All Programs content to display
the folders first and then the applications?
I'm just used to this layout from XP and would like to keep it that way.

Right-click the taskbar, go to Properties. Then go to "Start Menu"
and "Customize". You can select "Sort all Programs menu by name", and
"Highlight newly installed programs" from there.

Thanks,
but when selecting the "Sort all Programs menu by name" option, it results
in the mentioned sort order where applications appear before folders.

If I disable it, then I can rearrange it manually, but as soon as I try to
rearrange the folders in the Accessories menu, I lose all my applications in
the whole Start Menu for some odd reason.

I'll leave it automatically sorted for now, but would be nice to get the
same sort order as used in explorer in the start menu, instead of having
applications in front of folders.
