"www" puts History folders in the wrong order

For example, If I have some sites that have "www" and some without it, they
aren't placed in ABC order because the www makes History assume that they should
be a "w" not an "a"

This would make it consistent on how History ignores "htpp://" and let me see
sites in abc order without the "www" corrupting it

IE does
google (www.google.com) so that google is placed in the middle because of the G
and Firebird does
www.google.com which places it near the bottom because of the WWW

It would also be consistent with History>View>By Site which then places google
in the middle, not the bottom

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to abc.com, mozilla.org, netscape.com, news.com, cnn.com. google.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
They are placed as
1. abc.abcnews.go.com
2. mozilla.org
3. netscape.com
4. news.com.com
5. www.cnn.com
6. www.google.com
in History

Expected Results:  
Place it as
1. abc.abcnews.go.com
2. cnn.com
3. google.com
4. mozilla.org
5. netscape.com
6. news.com.com
or
1. abc.abcnews.go
2. cnn
3. google
4. mozilla
5. netscape
6. news.com
or
1. abc.abcnews.go (abc.abcnews.go.com)
2. cnn (www.cnn.com
3. google (www.google.com
4. mozilla (mozilla.org
5. netscape (netscape.com
6. news.com (news.com.com)
Attached image IE's is better
This isn't http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87336 because that one says
to put mozillazine.org and www.mozillazine.org in the same folder

This is about removing "www" from the beginning so that View>ByDateandSite will
put google in the middle and not the bottom
Confirming, I like this concept since it works towards greater ease of use.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Summary: Copy IE's History>View By Date by removing"www" and placing it in parentheses → remove "www" from History entries like you already do with "http"

I should point out that entries already in your history won't be affected, only
new ones will.
isn't there a message that says delete your profile everytime you get a new 
download
