Very minor quibble, but wondering if anyone can shed some light. On my
printers web page (http://<server>/printers) most of the printers appear in
alphabetical order, based on either the Name or Location column (not sure
which). Whenever I delete a printer and re-add it it then appears at the
bottom of the list, which makes it harder to find for users.

Any ideas on how to "refresh" the sort order on the page, or where this
information is drawn from so that, if necessary, I can manually
re-alphabetise the order the printers are displayed in?

Cheers,
Ben.

Also:

Server is W2k3 SP1 in case it makes a difference.
