The bookmarks sidebar does not sort folders before entries like the menu does. I think it should, as it makes it much easier to find entries in the root.

Reproducible: Always

I prefer folders interfiled with individual bookmarks.

Comment 2

[David Dahl :ddahl]

If you right click on "Bookmarks Menu" in the sidebar, you can "sort by name", which is the desired effect: everything sorted with folders then individual bookmarks.


I think this is a WONTFIX or WORKSFORME

I guess so. Although it seems the main menu lost that option. I can sort individual folders, but I can't sort the root folder.
