Bookmark Creation List Folders Alphabetically
-
I have my bookmark folders sorted alphabetically as shown in the bookmarks side panel or when I do ctrl B.
But when I want to add a bookmark to an existing folder, the folders are all in a strange non-alphabetic order, which makes finding the desired folder slower and more difficult.
Yes I know I can use the search box, which is usually what I end up doing, but it would be a lot easier and more intuitive if the folders were in the right order in the first place.To cater for those that prefer to have their bookmark folders in a different sort order, then perhaps the sort order in the add bookmarks dialogue should simply replicate the order in the bookmarks panel.

@Gelf The Bookmark Panel, the Bookmark Bar, and the Bookmarks Tab, each have their own independent sort order.
The Bookmark Menu and the Add Bookmark dialog both use the unsorted i.e. manually sorted order, with no option to change it.
You could simply sort your bookmarks manually in whatever order makes sense to you, or vote for True Alphabetical Bookmarks Sorting.
I sorted my bookmark folders alphabetical, using drag & drop.
Other users my prefer to have the most used folders near the top. My most used folders are all on my Bookmark Bar.

In my feature request, I am only concerned with adding a bookmark to an existing folder.
You say "Add Bookmark dialog uses the unsorted i.e. manually sorted order, with no option to change it."
This is my point - there should be an option to change the order; logically I would expect it to simply mirror the folder sort order used in the Bookmarks Panel.
At the moment I see no way to even sort it manually.

Try sorting your bookmarks in the Bookmarks Tab using Drag and Drop. Then you can arrange them in alphabetical order, or any other order that improves your workflow, when adding new bookmarks from the dialog.
It might be nice to have the same sort options that we have for the Bookmark Bar and Bookmark Panel, but it should be independent of both.

Just to be clear, I am specifically talking about adding a bookmark via the icon at the right end of the address bar, not any of other ways of doing it.

@Gelf That was obvious, but it cannot be done that way. However, it can be done by sorting the folders in the Bookmark Tab. While you are waiting, you might want to try fixing the problem yourself.
