Does anyone know how to do this (as sections don't appear to order themselves
in alphabetical order automatically).
Thanks

Sections are listed in the order in which they are created. There is no
way to automatically order the sections alphabetically. You have to
manually move them into the desired order.

Alpha-sorting of sections is my no.1 feature request for the next version.
It was my no.1 feature request for ON2007 too but apparently didn't get high
enough up in the priority list for the ON project team.

Of course with the new and improved OneNote API, some enterprising young
scamp could write a plug-in to do this automated sorting...

Well two out of three is not bad.

PS - Our OneNote Toolkits include a "alphabetize" feature that we're
looking to perhaps move over as "plug-in".

And it should so remain, being a tool for active notetaking, not for
archiving.

Our requirement for sorting has nothing to do with archiving.
We run a private singing school and have five teachers with 150+ students
with lessons held once a week for each student.
For us:
Folders = Teachers
Sections - Students
Pages = Lessons
We want to right-click on the Sections and sort alphabetically (rather than
ON sorting automatically) to find Students notes quickly and easily for
taking notes in their next lesson and refrring to the notes in general.
We do this sorting manually at present which is tedious.

We'd be interested in this plug-in, Fritz, assuming it would work for us in
our application of it of course.

Yes, that's a different feature than I thought you were recommending. The
fact is, although OneNote 2007 beta has a navigation tree, there is very
little you can actually accomplish within this hierarchical structure. You
cann't sort alphabetically, as you point out; you cannot select multiple
sections to move at the same time, as in all modern outliners; you cannot
collapse and expand all to given level of detail.
