Thanks Donna!  Alt+Z was what I neeeded.  I didn't want to sort by name.
It used to be you could just move them around by dragging and
positioning where you want. Or you could click on Organize Favorites -
but that disappeared. 
If you don't know the shorthand (Alt+Z) you're out of luck because there
isn't even any "help".  And the new "feeds" seems of no use.

I'm not really happy with IE 7 as it takes more room and I can no longer
temporarily close toolbars by simply dragging them up out of the way and
then back again.  I have to actually turn them off and on when I need
the space.  Other than that it has a few nice features.
