561290 - alphabetical sorting for cookies, history, and saved passwords does not sort by domain name

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 282220

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Q.M.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

The alphabetical sorting function for urls is substantially less useful than it could be; for example, if I want to look at my history for mozilla.org, it makes far more sense for bugzilla.mozilla.org , www.mozilla.org, mozilla.org, et cetera to all be together.  For cookie handling, with a small window, it becomes extremely irritating to have to handle each subdomain for the same domain separately, and if I want to erase or change my cookie preferences, or find my username and password, for www.mozilla.org I have to navigate through all the other websites that begin with the www prefix.

The default behavior for the keyboard on alphabetical url lists should also be altered accordingly as well, obviously.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up the history panel set to view by date and site or view by site
or
1. open up the cookies menus
or
1. open up the saved passwords menu
Actual Results:  
The alphabetical sorting is done by subdomain first, domain second

Expected Results:  
Alphabetical Url sorting should be done by domain first, subdomain(s) second.

This is a duplicate of bug 282220 (but I don't have permission to change the status to say so).
