At the very top of the device manager tree, is the computer itself. On my system, it's called "Computer". Double-click on that. This gives you an ordered IRQ list.

hmm. doesn't work on my installation of w2k pro, it just collapses or expands the categories under "Computer" (which on mine reads "EQUINOX", the machine's network name).

the system information tool, under the accessories -> system tools menu, has a very intuitive interface for viewing hardware configuration info.
