Details

I just recently tried to sort through my large bookmark list, trying to organize
it through this build's Manage Bookmark list.  I hit "Sort by name", and every
item in the window gets sorted!!!  I thought it would sort any open folder, and
not any parents.

Suggested changes to the sorting algorythm:
1.  Only sort the currently expanded folder being viewed, ignoring any parents.
 If there's any expanded folders, only work on them.
2.  Sort directories first, placing them on top, before any individual bookmarks.
3.  Give the user the option to use older sorting method.

Also, isn't there a "flatten" option, which would peramently sort the bookmarks,
instead of having Mozilla have to remember the sort the folder automatically?
