Would be nice if this feature could be implemented :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.sort bookmarks 2. 3. Actual Results: folders are sorted alphabetically, mixed in with regular bookmark entries. Expected Results: folders should be sorted first, alphabetically - then display bookmarks sorted alphabetically.
I agree. Alphabetize the folders, except the toolbar folder, then alphabetize the bookmark entries.
Valid RFE, confirming for developer review. Pierre, is this wanted?

We should definitely do this.
I like to see this feature to sort by folder, too. :)

This would be fixed along with bug 211023.
Yeah! that would really improve the usability of firebird. (Bookmarks sort with folders first, then bookmarks)
I would like this feature also.
This is a no brainer. They should have just followed what Mozilla does.
It's been almost a year since the bug was registered and there's no progress to speak of. Please get the priority level bumped up. Thanks.

> It's been almost a year since the bug was registered and there's no progress to > speak of. Please get the priority level bumped up. Thanks. 100% ACK! In the meantime, Torisugari's Sort Bookmarks 0.5.0.1 extension solves this annonying problem: <http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=102>
Pierre, if this is quick and easy, it would be great to get this for 1.0 beta. Otherwise, go ahead and minus it.

*** Bug 249192 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I agree, waiting for this a long time.
what if bookmark composed of other language character mix with of english? what's rule for that, then?
HOW LONG WILL THIS LITTLE FEATURE TAKE???
Janis, your shouting doesn't add anything useful to this bug. If anything, you will dissuade potential fixers by making the bug less easy to follow via bugzilla email or reading through the comments. This is not an advocacy forum, nor is it a place to complain about the pace of development. If you have something of technical value to add to the bug, especially if it comes in the form of a patch, then feel free to make some noise. If not, please go to the forums at mozillazine.org and vent to your heart's content. Thanks.
minus for 1.0. recommend folks use the extension until this can be integrated in the next release.

The extension referred to by other commentators does not fix the sorting problem in the side bar. Bookmarks are still sorted without folders first. I find the side bar to be more efficient for accessing book marks because sub folders can be left open. This is not the case if clicking on Bookmarks on the toolbar. The existing extension also needs to be tweaked to allow it to work on versions after 0.9.

I don't know about in FF1.0PR, but in FF0.9, the bookmark side bar sorts bookmarks exactly as they are sorted in the bookmarks menu, so if you use the extension to sort them with folders first, that should be reflected in the side bar as well. > The existing extension also needs to be tweaked to allow it to work on versions > after 0.9. If you know anything about extensions you could probably just download it, open it up, and raise the max version yourself. I would bet the extension as is does not conflict with FF1.0PR and the author just hasn't bothered raising the max version in the current extension, but I don't know that for sure.
This current bookmarks sort does sort folders first, so I'm guessing this should be WORKSFORME. See: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/components/bookmarks/content/bookmarks.js#882
