184621 - bookmarks won't display new order after being reordered in bookmark mgr

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 77411

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Juan Stang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

After I've reordered my bookmarks in the bookmark mgr, say a normal A-Z sort,
the new order won't display on the main menu; although, once I reopen the
bookmark mgr to futz with the order again, they're reordered there properly,
just as I left them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open bookmark mgr, reorder bookmarks
2. close bookmark mgr
3. open bookmarks menu to view bookmarks, observe strangely arbitrary order

Actual Results:  
I observed a strangely arbitrary bookmark order. New folders, however, as well
as bookmark assignments to new folders, display just fine.

Expected Results:  
Phoenix should have reordered my dang bookmarks.

I love Phoenix. It rules. It if was a chick, she'd be hot, and I'd do her.

Mass verifying of old bugs.

I just upgraded to Mozilla Firefox 1.0.  I can organize my bookmark folders
alphabetically in the "Manage Bookmarks" screen - but they are scrambled in the
Bookmarks drop-down.  They are in alpha order in the sidebar.  *Within* each
listing in the drop down, the bookmarks are in alpha order.  This was NEVER a
problem in earlier versions.  There are at least several hundred in there, in
several dozen folders.  

BTW - your entire reporting environment is decidedly less than hospitable.  I am
a musicologist, not a computer expert - but have genuine reasons for reporting.
 Thank you.
