The same thing happens whenever I run CCleaner. In Start-Programs menu, I usually have the programs that I most frequently use. Word, Games, etc... Whenever I do a cleaning with CCleaner, the order is lost and when I click on Start-Programs all programs listed alphabetically.
If you have anything enabled under Advanced, try disabling it. I'm thinking it could be Menu Order Cache, albeit I could be wrong.
Strangely I've had a similar issue for the past month, but it only puts one group out of order in 'Accessories->System Tools', and I don't know if it's related to CCleaner or not.
I'd thought just like you and I unticked all the boxes under Advanced options.... But still my order of recently used programs gets lost... And one other thing: my MS Word customization also gets lost.
For example, I set document saving intervals as "2 minutes" (tools-options-save). After CCleaner finished its job, every setting I made returned to default setting!

For that you have to untick Microsoft Office for whatever version you have installed. To disable it go into the large Cleaner button, then click the Applications tab, then look under Applications for Office.

I just found out today what is causing a couple of things in my Start Menu to get moved around. It's because of using a registry optimizer/defragger called Free Registry Defrag. I suppose similar programs may also cause that problem.
