Add Bookmarks to Top or Bottom of Folder

[Pesala]

@Sojaquad If you want to add new bookmarks to the top of a folder, as I said earlier, drag the padlock icon and drop it onto the folder. The folder can be closed or open, it does not matter.

If you hover the folder for half a second, it will open, allowing you to drop the new bookmark anywhere you like. If you simply drop it onto the folder, it will be added at the top (assuming that the folder is set to Sort Manually).

Sort Order

Another way is to sort by date created, descending. Then it does not matter how you add the bookmark.

@Pesala Sorry but you must be completely unhinged expecting users to drag a bookmark, hover over a folder for it to expand then scroll all the way to the bottom and drop a bookmark every single time in order for bookmarks to be added where they should be added in the first place when other browsers (Chromium ones in particular) don’t suffer from this issue at all. Unfortunately this is a bug that needs to be addressed. Whether to offer an option to reverse the bookmark order (like Opera does it for example) comes after that. The existing sort by option you’ve mentioned serves as a workaround at best.

Insulting people is a great way to create a mental block that prevents you from understanding how to use this method.

• The bookmark panel folder tree remembers its expanded state. There is no need to hover to expand it if it’s already open and you want to drop the bookmark into a subfolder
• No scrolling is required. Drop the bookmark onto the folder. It will be dropped at the top of the folder as my screenshot shows. I showed the folder expanded to prove that it appears at the top, which is what you want, and not at the bottom
• Changing the sort order is not a workaround. It is just another way to achieve the same result.

It is difficult to add the bookmark in a folder below an open folder with more than 50 bookmarks. It is easier to add bookmarks with two or three clicks.

Please add this feature, devs!

Have you tried adding bookmarks by D&D to the Bookmarks Panel?

By D&D the padlock icon or tab to the bookmarks panel it is not possible to create a new bookmark with addresses like:
chrome: // extensions / shortcuts
chrome: //settings / languages /
I would have to click on the bookmark page icon to do it.

It should also be noted that when creating folders, those folders are created at the bottom.

@dantenebris The entire folder tree can be collapsed with the shortcut \

Addresses like chrome://settings/languages/ can be added by selecting the URL and dragging it to the desired folder.

This behavior was probably the number one reason why I left Vivaldi after trying to stick with for a couple of days. Dragging a bookmark into a folder and having it placed as the first element on that folder is such an annoyance. If I'm adding something new to what is essentially a list, it should be added at the bottom of the list, not at the top!

Agree with Petersaints, Dantenebris, Moscha, & Others.

I “lost” important Bookmarks too many times on Vivaldi. While I like Vivaldi’s Feature’s, this simple issue being ignored for years tells me the Devs are not using this Browser or They just do not care about proper functioning Bookmarks.

For me the Bookmarks can save at the top (actually I think I like this more), but for me it is the issue of Bookmarks adding sometimes at the top and sometimes at the bottom, because you know, it is a BUG, as People have said.

Then we, Users, can not contribute to this Project, because it is closed source. Instead we get a Forum “Ambassador” who does not know about anything.

Sad to have to leave this Browser after only a short time. Good Luck & Good Bye.

@SwissCheese Your reasoning is as full of holes as a slab of Emmenthal.
