Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262329

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I categorized my bookmarks using separators.
Later I added a few bookmarks.
Later I sorted the bookmarks alphabetically.
The sort erased the categories I'd made using the separators.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Arrange bookmarks using separators
2. Sort alphabetically
3. 
Actual Results:  
The bookmarks were sorted alphabetically.
The separators were gone.
I could not return to the previous state

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to return to the previous state (Undo).
Maintained the separators and their contents.

Can't the separators be treated as folders who's contents are displayed without
user intervention?  That way, they and their contents can be sorted like any
other hierarchical display and the separators will remain as borders for concept
categories.  If I haven't communicated this well, forgive me.
