reordering bookmarks in the bookmark manager by drag and drop in the right side window does strange things but not what you want.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
When trying to reorder bookmarks in tzhe bookmark manager, i try to do that by drag and drop elements in the right part of the window. having 3 folders, 5 elements an 1 separator, in order FFEEFSEEE. Now try to drag the last folder between second folder and first element... whoooop... now the ordering is EFFEFSEEE. try doing things back by drag'n'drop... whoooop... another strange sorting algorithm does it's work.



btw. sorting alphabetical is marked in the column title but doesn't have real effect.

it would say this is major, as sorting bookmarks isn't possible any more.

The view is sorted by name, since you checked the menu item, so you can't drag&drop when it's in the mode.

The "sort alphabetically" does have an effect, but it's per-folder.
