Disobedient Control Panel

I went thru the Win8 Tutor....and forum list and my problem wasn't listed of course...
Is there any way to Sort the Icons in alphabetical order in the Control Panel???
Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Hi magnus 1492,

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do; however, the icons are already sorted alphabetically (from left to right) so are you looking for a 3rd party solution to change that to a vertical oreintation? If so, Start8 and (I think) Classic Shell might give you that vertical orientation (if that is what you are looking for). Maybe someone else has a better answer. Good luck.

Sorry 'bout that my2cents...
you're right, I was looking for vertical aspect of the icons in control panel...
I'll check with Classic Shell as I have it installed so that I could use Win8.
thanks again!

Hey magnus1492,

A possible built-in solution... It doesn't get any better than that!
