We only set `_defaultSort` to "index" in the bookmarks engine (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/af86a58b157fbed26b0e86fcd81f1b421e80e60a/services/sync/modules/engines/bookmarks.js#287), to fetch and apply toolbar bookmarks, folders, and frecent sites first.

Once bug 1305563 lands, the order of bookmark records won't matter, since we'll buffer everything before applying. Ryan also noted in bug 1368951, comment 4 that the Python server doesn't index on `sortindex`, so we might get a small efficiency boost from removing this and letting the server use whatever order it wants.

Hi Manish, thanks for your interest! This isn't quite ready to be worked on yet, because the old bookmarks engine still uses `_defaultSort: "index"`. We can remove `_defaultSort` after bug 1449730.
