Details

***Overview Description: It is possible to sort bookmarks many different ways in the Manage Bookmarks window by clicking repeatedly on the column headers. It stands to reason that if a user chooses to sort her bookmarks in a particular fashion, she would then want to view them the same way they were just sorted. Currently, the toplevel bookmarks menu and the bookmarks popup do not reflect any changes in sorting. (they do however reflect changes to the 'natural' order accomplished by drag&drop, etc.). ***Steps to Reproduce: 1) Open the Manage Bookmarks window. (Bookmarks|manage Bookmarks) 2) Click the 'Name' column header to sort the bookmarks alphabetically by name. 3) Pulldown the bookmarks menu or the bookmarks popup. ***Actual Results: The order of the bookmarks never changes. ***Expected Results: The menus should display the bookmarks just as they are displayed in the Manager window. ***Build Info: All platforms with the 2000053108 builds but this has been around forever since it's not a regression. ***Additional Information: I left out mention of the sidebar bookmarks panel even though it has the same exact problem as the menus. I left it out because with its current design you can sort by name in the sidebar independently of the Manage Bookmarks window. I don't know how these two would/could/should sync up.
Sorting only applies to the view that the operation was chosen on. Other views shouldn't change. Marking WONTFIX.

so one could _never_ever_ view their bookmarks sorted alphabetically(or any of the other great sorts) in the bookmarks menu or popup unless they were to tediously drag and drop them into place?(and continue to do so for new bookmarks)
