Consider this item too:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931136

as it would be nice if at the very least these two lists showed up in the same order.

Very crippling with this not fixed. Between this sorting problem and comments not saved, renders Collections VERY difficult to manage. Any chance this can get fixed?

The following was originally a problem in 2011 that was fixed in 2011, then stopped working again in 2013 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593634 but it was listed as tied to FF v4.x only).

This one was opened in Oct 2013 to deal with this as it is NOT tied to FF v4 as above. This applies to ALL versions as it is a addons.mozilla.org website issue. 

Without this fix, it is very cumbersome to work with collections. Please fix. (see attachments for examples)
