311649 - unsorted menu entries in expanded local bookmark to file:///directory

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[burst]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.0.7

when you add a bookmark to a local directory, for example file:///home/user, it
gets expanded in the menu, so that you can browse the filesystem through the
menu. but in my case the menu entries (the contents of the directory) are not
sorted at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a Bookmark to a local directory, for example file:///home/user
2. Open the `Bookmarks` menu in the menubar
3. Go to the submenu of the bookmark

Actual Results:  
You see an unsorted list of the directory contents

Expected Results:  
Sort the contents

Same thing here on Windows XP Pro : 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5

The strange thing is that some directories are displayed sorted and some are not.  for example my url "file:///C:/WINDOWS/system32/ReinstallBackups/" is correctly sorted by name apparently : all the sub-folders are displayed from 0000 at the top to 0013 (for me) at the end of the list. But other directories are unsorted.

Confirmed (and the feature is present) with
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5pre) Gecko/20070701 BonEcho/2.0.0.5pre
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

The feature is absent in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070701 Minefield/3.0a6pre, so I guess it will be wontfixed.
