IE reversing order of spry menu items

Question

I've created a horizontal spry menu bar, and it works great except for one problem. When I open my page in Internet Explorer, the order of menu items from left to right is reversed. For example, "Home", which is my first item in the menu, is supposed to appear on the left, but instead it appears on the right. The menu bar itself is in the correct position, it's just the menu items that are reversed. When I open the page in Firefox or Safari, the order is correct - it's just an IE problem. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks Ben, here's the code. I was doing some experimenting, and I changed the float property under ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to "right" instead of "left" as it is shown below. This caused the menu items to appear in the correct order, but it also caused the sub-menu items to appear in a horizontal line below the menu, when in fact they should be hidden until you hover over the corresponding item in the main menu. So I traded one problem for another! Any help would be much appreciated.
To see how it`s rendering, visit http://www.leagueheadquarters.com/RAB. If you look at it in Firefox, you`ll see how it`s supposed to look, and in IE you`ll see the menu items reversed.
