Diane Have a look under the 'View' menu in finder, select 'Show View Options'.
Select 'Keep Arranged By' and select 'Name'. Should keep things arranged, always keeps my boot drive at the top, even if my other drive is named something that is lower alphabetically than my boot.

(when they were listed on the desktop in the upper right hand corner) Last night I created a bootable backup on my 2nd 500gb drive, set it as the startup disk and rebooted. My main drive showed up as on top. Try again. Same thing. Finally tossed something on the desktop of the backup drive (they are identical), and lo and behold, it is booting correctly, it's just showing up in the last of the list of drives). Is this something that has changed along the way in OS X and is there a way I can change it back? Or did I remember wrong???
