With this you can accomplish a one time sort.

RegDelete("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\") ; You may have to use "Start Menu2" instead.
ProcessClose("explorer.exe")
While ProcessExists("explorer.exe")
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
Run("explorer.exe")

To make Windows always alphabetize the list, remove the permissions from the Registry key that controls the sort order for the Start menu. To do so, go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder

Choose Edit | Permissions and click the Advanced button. Deselect the Inherit From Parent The Permission Entries That Apply To Child Objects check box and then click Copy when the Security dialog box pops up. Click OK and clear the Full Control entry for your account and all security groups you are a member of. Leave only Read permission.

Thanks man, I knew about deleting the registry entry but it didn't always work... this should help.
