When you do a Sort by attribute (Name, Location etc) in the bookmarks management
window, that Sort should
- apply to the view in the bookmarks sidebar
- apply to the view in the bookmarks pulldown menu in Nav
- be persistent across sessions.
I've verified that the first two do not happen, which is a bug.

nav triage: on further review, not an rtm stopper. but if you can generate a
patch, we shd take it among the nice-to-haves. Moving to m0.9.3 therefore.
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.2 → mozilla0.9.3
I aplogize in advance if this is not the right place to post this comment, but I
can not believe the bookmarks team does not consider this as a critical feature,
thus moving it to 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.
Now I *fully* appreciate the fact there are other issues to work on with
bookmarks, but IMHO, sorting is a critical function of managing your
bookmarks...and as such the inability to have things sorted alphabetically in
the menus, etc. is a fundamental flaw in the component...especially if Ben is
right in saying that it should take under an hour to implement this feature. If
I knew how to code, I would gladly volunteer my services, but I have zero
programming knowledge.
Thank you

Actually I did some investigation of this the other day before it was moved out,
and it'd probably take longer than I originally estimated to get just right.

With Mozilla v1.1b build 2002072008, Win 98SE, & the view options set to "Sorted
by Name" A-Z the folders, sub-folders, & bookmarks show as sorted when examined
in the "Manage Bookmarks" mode but not in the regular use mode. Thus
rendenering the sort rather useless. I have about 4,000 bookmarks in about 50
folders & sub-folders all told. BTW, sorting is better than in mozilla v1.0.

This *feature* or lack thereof, has kept me from a 100% Moz conversion for some

Is there ANY idea of expected completion date or build for this feature?

Hmm, this looks like it's already working.
Ben, what is the remaining issue, if any ?

Hmm, it works on Mac OS X.
When I click on a column in bookmark manager the same change is reflected in
sidebar.

Works in the sidebar but, does it still work in the drop down Bookmark
selection on the Toolbar?

As far as i can see, ordering by name bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager only
changes order in that own window. Not elsewhere.

There's also another strange behaviour: I bookmarked www.pchigh.ch and it did

Verified the bug on Windows XP version on 2002-11-25:
Windows XP Pro version 2002, all patches installed (NOT service packs)
Running Phoenix with the following about screen:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021029 Phoenix/0.4
Again, while the bookmarks are sorted in the Manage Bookmarks screen, but when a
folder is added to the toolbar, the bookmarks contained within are not sorted.

Comment 55•22 years ago

As Chris said back in July, this is stopping me from really migrating from IE -
can't beleive it's still not fixed. Would love to be the one to fix it, but
programming skills aren't up to it :(
Comment 56•22 years ago

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you sort bookmarks in IE? I can see how to
rearrange them (D&Din IE 6), but not how to sort them.
Comment 57•22 years ago
|
||
Peter, in IE6, you basically can just 'sort by name' which performs an
alphabetical sorting on both folder AND individual bookmarks.
GRANTED, Moz/PX has a MUCH greater ability to sort bookmarks in various
ways.....this problem is that these 'sortings' aren't reflected as they should
be outside of the bookmark manager....but I digress.
If you haven't seen the 'sort by name' option, just right click anywhere in the
drop down list of bookmarks...look near the bottom of the list of the new window
that pops up....it should be there. I think that the only reason it's even
available is becuase even IE simply ADDS bookmarks to the list in the order they
are created, ie, out of order. The sort by name just puts them back in ABC
order...which is REALLY necessary when you're dealing with a LOT of bookmarks!!!
Comment 58•22 years ago
|
||
Not only the sorting in the pull down menu is missing. Things which we got used
to from other programs are missing there too.
Simply grabbing an entry from the bookmark-pulldown and dragging it to a
different location within the pulldown menu. right clicking there and have
options like "edit bookmark" "delete" "cut/copy/paste" and "sort by Name/last
visited" etc.
I know quite some people who say that the focus on such annoyances isnt that
good since this bug is knows for years (literally) now, and still has a target
milestone of 1.0.1.
I have to admit, I am not good enough to code at that level, or else I would try
to change that.
Comment 59•22 years ago

"options like "edit bookmark" "delete" "cut/copy/paste" and "sort by Name/last
visited" etc."
These other *abilities* actually make it so that I don't even have to go into
the IE bookmark manager very often. These functions are EXTREMELY useful!
Comment 60•22 years ago
|
||
Thanks, but wow, right-clicking in a menu - they couldn't have buried that any
more if they had a shovel. It isn't even available in the Favorites sidebar or
the Organize dialog.
Comment 61•22 years ago
|
||
*shrug* i actually think you commented in another bug a while back where that
was mentioned. it was introduced with ie4 shell integration. the problem is that
the menus and the views don't relate and there's no clean ui to allow you to
enforce sorting on the menu other than contextually.

A sentiment shared by all. So where's your patch?
Comment 64•22 years ago
|

Bookmark problems are the only thing stopping me making Mozilla my default
browser. In IE6 bookmarks can be sorted by folder name, sub folder name, and
link name. It is then possible to manually move specific 'important' links to
the top of the hierarchy where they are prominent. It is also possible to move
links to the top spot by prefixing them with a hash character # before sorting.
But if I import my links into Mozilla none of this is possible. They arrive out
of order, and the contents of sub folders are randomly scrambled. # characters
are ignored. And there is nothing I can do about it. I can't sort them and I
can't move them manually.
It really is about time this problem was addressed.
Comment 65•22 years ago

This is extremely important to anyone who has more than a few bookmarks, and is
a real showstopper for anyone considering a move from IE.
I'd like to add my voice to those pleading for a solution!

Incredibly, this bug was "officially" opened in Bugzilla almost TWO YEARS ago
on: 2001-04-24 13:22. Nice to see the developers "step up" to this request.
Good thing this is NOT commercial software. They'd all be fired by now.

There are various bugs about sorting bookmarks...
All of them have been reported for ages, and still nothing is changed in 1.4b
(except that now sorting works, but it's not flexible at all)
The best would be :
- sort folder first, then files (which is not the current behaviour, sorting by
name for instance sorts everything by name, regardless its nature) : this is as
to match the win32, X and console traditionnal behaviour of displaying folders
before files
- beeing able to sort folders separatly, because for instance, I can like to
have forums/board bookmark by date, and other stuff by name...which is
impossible at the moment
- proper export of bookmarks : once exported by moz, and imported in IE, all
special characters like é è à etc.. (french, but in general all latin special
keys) are jammed...for instance, Société is written SociÃ(c)tÃ(c) ...must be
some kind of charset mismatch...

Yeah, it's only fixed in Mozilla due to lack of resources.
