Ashampoo Presentations 2008 lets you structure your presentations through its built-in outliner. It looks similar to the one in Ashampoo Office TextMaker, but is tightly linked to the slides: if you change text in the outliner, the corresponding slide is updated on-the-fly and vice-versa.

You can sort slides in the "mini sorter" as well as in the regular full-screen sorter. The mini sorter appears to the left of the current slide, the full-screen sorter occupies the whole application window.
