961503 - Synced desktop bookmarks displayed without meaningful order

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 814801

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Kent S.]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140116125114

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Fennec.
2. Activate bookmark sync for both Desktop and Fennec.
3. Allow bookmarks to sync.


Actual results:

All 3018 bookmarks synced.
Dividers lost and folders placed at top (as expected; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770232)

But the sort order of bookmarks WITHIN folders is TOTALLY LOST. It had been alpha; am not sure what it is now.


Expected results:

Sort order of bookmarks within folders should retain same sort order as desktop bookmarks.

This bug report relates only to desktop bookmarks synced into Fennec, and how those desktop bookmarks display on Fennec; the sync to Fennec (fortunately) has no effect on the sort order of the bookmarks on the desktop. No attempt has been made to edit the desktop bookmarks while on Fennec.

I can't reproduce this on 29. For *one* of my directories (the toolbar), the listed folder list has two folders out of position in the list of folders, but the contents are otherwise ordered in desktop order.

Duping this to a suitable bug.
