E.g. if you have cookies from the following sites, this is how the cookie manager sorts them today: abc.com def.com test.ghi.com www.abc.com www.def.com This list would make a heck of a lot more sense if we sorted by "com" first, then by "abc", "def", etc., and so on back to the 1st column: abc.com www.abc.com def.com www.def.com test.ghi.com This kind of sort: (a) Groups together all cookies from different "machines" in the same domain, (b) Makes it a whole lot easier to nuke all the cookies from a particular domain from the list. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the cookie manager and look at the way the cookies are sorted. 2. 3. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: See above.
