I've discovered that in our Win2K AD network, XP Pro workstations display Network PCs using the description first, not the computer name. Is there a way to rearrange these to display them computer name first, like in Win2K and NT4?

If they are coming up on your server with the name displayed in a different manner or reversed as you say, why not join the Domain again by renaming the PC by clicking my network places on the desktop and goin into network ID.
Rename the PC and join the Domain again the relevant Admin rights.
Hope this helps.

its not coming up on the server reversed, only on the XP Pro workstations. Everywhere else, it displays properly, but with out XP PCs, the name and description are backwards.
