Any way to organize Start Menu by names of items?

As stated above use the program JWMD Icon Changer to sort your start menu. Its the easiest way I've found. Here's what i do once i have all the programs organized in the folders i want.. run the program, click "menu", then "tools", then "Sort Current Items". now click "ASC" to sort alphabetically and then click "By Type" to list all of your organized folders first. Hit save and yes to the soft-reset. Everything should now be clutter free and alphabetically listed in your start menu.

I tried this and it had absolutely NO effect on my Sprint TP2 Stock ROM.

Gotta' say this is a very onerous workaround. Each and every time you install something you have to go through these steps. There HAS to be a way to just replace the Start screen altogether with something a heck of alot more useful.

I agree with you that there has to be a different way but as for right now i haven't came across it. This is the easiest working method i know of. I usually soft-reset after installing every cab just to be on the safe side anyways. so running this program b4 my soft-reset takes me what 10 seconds extra?

Oh, I know and agree. Just kvetching that this has to be an issue that needs fixin' in WM6.5. Why'd they break what wasn't broken?
