When you first create a solution using Visual Studio 2008, your projects sort nicely in alphabetical order. But then as your project grows, you begin using solution folders to organize your projects. It is at this point that your projects no longer sort alphabetically within their solution folders.
Of course I've heard of the trick where you just choose one of the projects in a folder, press "F2" (rename) and then leave the project name as it was previously. But this is 1) a pain, and 2) only sorts projects in that one solution folder.
So I created a tool that will modify your Visual Studio solution file (.sln) and make the projects sort properly within the solution folders. Check it out at CodePlex: Visual Studio Solution Sorter (http://solutionsorter.codeplex.com/).
