Can't alphabetize programs list even though I use "sort by name"

When my Programs list loses its sense of alphabetization, I right click all the offending entries and then click on "sort by name". So it acts like a good little XP and sorts the entry correctly.

But the best I can get it to do, is to sort about half the list properly. The other half is also sorted properly, BUT it is appended on to the end of the first part. So, within my list of programs, it goes from A to Z, and then starts over again from A to Z. I searched EE and found nothing about it, so the fix is probably right in front of me but I can't find it. What do I do?

Didn't I say the fix was right in front of my nose? Well, it was/is. And I didn't have to go into the dreaded Registry either. My two sets of alphabetically arranged entries do indeed differ from one another. And sure enough, when I looked I foundf that when clicking "All Programs", one list contains Folders only and the second list contains only shortcuts. So there wasn't even anythihg wrong in the first place. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Thanks. You get the 500 points.
LOL..Glad to help..and thanks for the points!
