unable to sort by tags in the bookmark organizer

currently, clicking on the tags column or using the View | Sort By Tags menu will do nothing.

see bug #387748 and bug #393868 for some background.
Flags: blocking-firefox3?
Go To BookMarks on toolbar and select  organize bookmarks....it will open popup window BookMarks Manager...
In that window go to View and select sort options...
and close it refresh the window .....

I encountered this during beta 1 testing. Tag seems to be the only item in the list that you cannot sort, either by clicking on the tags column or View | Sort.
Go to Bookmarks-->Organize Bookmarks..it will show pop up window 
from that window select one bookmark and right click on that it will show the options and select the sort by name
Sorting in that column will be a semi-helpful thing at best, as there could be 1..N tags for any given entry.

Still, I think we should do the minimum expected here, which would be to list the tags in alphabetical order, and then do ascending/descending sorts.

So if I were to tag an entry as "foo, bar, zab", it would show up as

Page Title   http://page.url.here/page   bar, foo, zab
We already do that.

Well, then, all we need to do is have the "Tags" column use that as the basis for an alphabetic sort, such that:

 bar
 bar, foo
 bar, foo, zab 
 bar, zab
 bar, zab, zzz

and we're pretty much done!

Attached patch re-implement the tags column (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
* Fix live-update of the tags column (this wasn't implemented at all)
* Cache it contents, we were calling getTagsForURI very often apparently.
* Make QUERY_UPDATE_COMPLEX_WITH_BOOKMARKS meaningful, *doh*.
* Allow sorting by tags.

is there a reason why you're changing the anno const values? please don't if it's not necessary.

iirc this is duplicated elsewhere. if so, should abstract this out into a method.

any reason to not put the tag name as the value here, and make the name more descriptive of what's occurring? if it was "URIWasTagged" and had the tag values, observers could update w/o having to re-query the db.

also, "tags" should be a define somewhere. hm, would be good to consolidate all the possible OnItemChanged values in a set of defines somewhere.

I see what you're doing, disregard this comment.

some places code relies on SORT_BY_ANNOTATION_DESCENDING being the max valid value for sortingMode.

not in a re-usable manner, IIRC.

re-implement the tags column

r=sspitzer, but a few comments:

1)

+  rv = svc->GetTagsForURI(uri, &count, &tags);

we should error check rv here.

2)

+  if (count > 0) {
+    for (PRUint32 i=0; i < count; i++) {
+      mTags.Append(tags[i]);
+      if (i < count -1) { // separate with commas
+        mTags.Append(NS_LITERAL_STRING(", "));
+      }
+    }
+    NS_FREE_XPCOM_ALLOCATED_POINTER_ARRAY(count, tags);
+  }
+  aTags.Assign(mTags);

aren't we leaking tags when count is zero?  it will be an empty array, but still allocated.

3) can you write some tests?

as mano explained over irc, tags will be null when count is zero, so this code is correct as is.
