Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[askman]

Bring back the Sort feature that was present in Netscape 3.  I cannot see
any ad

vantage of speed or access to bookmarks via the removal of the Sort
feature.

I guess this is a feature request.

I assume you're referring to the "Sort Bookmarks" feature I see under the Item
menu of the "Go To Bookmarks" window in the 3.04 UI.

In Nav4 we had View-->Sort Ascending/Descending menu items in the equivalent UI.

Don't know what the plans are for Nav5, but I assume we have something similar
planned and that this is just a feature not implemented yet. Marking [FEATURE],
setting to M15, and reassigning to johng, the Bookmarks PM.

Please don't make this too easy to hit by accident. Or at least make it easily
undoable. I try to keep my bookmarks organized logically, and sorting them
alphabetically would be catastrophic.

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

Everything possible should be undoable.

Comment 5

[Kevin Berkheiser]

Please make this sort feature work. The sort feature in 4.x was basically useless.

I am cc'ing German Bauer on this since he has a UI spec on how this should work.
 Also assigning to slamm since I think he is the engineer on Don's team who will
implement this (but I might be wrong).
