A Little Trick I've Learned for WEB Site Links

I'm sure there are others here who have come up with this or something similar, but, after I started using this little trick, it has helped me locate my more often used Internet Links faster and more easily.

Of course, Driverheaven is in that list.

However, I have dozens of often-used links and I'd like to keep the most often used ones at the top of the list. BUT, when I do a Sort by Name option, some of them get pushed all the way to the bottom of the list.....except for when I use my little trick.

Here it is:

Place a brackets with a letter A in the one you want to show up first in your list. Put it at the front of the name of your saved link. Example: [A] Driverheaven.net will always force this to be the first in your list. [b] Next WebSite will always force this one to show up second....no matter what the title of the page begins with. As you establish which sites you use more often than others, if you want them to show up near the beginning of your list, just continue with [C] Third WEBsite...etc.

Works a charm for me.

honestly, the fastest way for me is to use the auto fill in on the adress bar. i just need to type D and a quick click and its already loaded.

I can do this with IE....no problem. The problem, however, developes whenever I use the Sort by Name. I do that a LOT after adding new links. So, whenever I use the Sort by Name, all my bracketed names stay at the top of the list.

The problem with autofill is that I clear out and delete all of that pretty much everyday using Crap Cleaner. So, I don't have but only the current session of autofill information for the URL bar.
