    Alphabetizing cookbooks

    My recipe boxes start off with 'Appetizers', and proceed, in alphabetical order to 'Xmas 2007' (which is where I store the recipes I plan to make as gifts this year).  And then things start all over again, beginning with 'Beef' and continuing through 'Vegetarian.'  What I want is just ONE alphabetical list.

    BigOven does alphabetize them, but it is case sensitive.  Chances are, your recipe box is called "Xmas 2007" and then "beef".  In the ASCII sort order, capital X comes before lower case "b". 

    To rectify this, try right clicking on the recipe box name, and renaming it using all-caps, or at least capitalizing the first letter.  Since BigOven won't do anything if the new name = the old name, though, you might need to make it slightly different, e.g., "BeefRecipes", then then rename it again to "Beef".
