The start menu is not being sorted. It there some things I can check to to get start menu to sort all my installed programs?

Go to start menu list of the programs, right click anywhere on the list and you have an option to sort

Windows doesn't offer a way it looks like. I know in Windows vista, 7 and so on they stay sorted. You didn't tell me what version of Windows, but since the newer Windows stays sorted I assume you are on XP, so you have to do a little trick to make it stay sorted

If you are on Windows 7 then what style do you have the start menu set to, because on all my 7 machines the start menu stays sorted.

That was the first thing I check and checked it. Then did what you said and it worked. Now just installed to programs and it seem to be working fine now.
