If you sort the Bookmarks Menu folder, all the bookmarks below that will be sorted as far as a Separator - a horizontal line. Delete the Separators to sort everything.

Well, Mr Edmeister, deleting the horizontal line did solve the problem.

Now, I would not have thought that that horizontal line was user-accessible.

A follow-up question, if you will: Is there a place on the computer wherein I can manually access the Bookmarks (like in I.E. one can access the "Favorites" folder) so that I can display the list, open folders and compare them - using two separate windows for comparison - to tidy up this gargantuan mess ... er, I mean "list" ??? =8-)

Thanks for your instantaneous-like correct & helpful response!!!

What you can do is use the library. That has a tree view on one side and the detail on the other. Use Bookmarks -> Organise bookmarks (wording may vary, ? - show all bookmarks ? )

• see sorting bookmarks

You are able to drag and drop or copy and paste folders, and select lists of bookmarks using keyboard shortcut Ctrl +A

The bookmarks are stored in a sqlite database you will normally work with them in firefox, or using a firefox extension they are not stored as files in folders

For instance to sort two folders quickly into one. using the firefox bookmark library If you

1. create a 2 new folders named say unsorted-one and sorted-two
2. copy both sets of bookmarks into the one folder 'unsorted-one'
3. use the sort option to sort alphabetically the unsorted-one
4. copy and past into sorted-two that is now in alpha order
5. delete the old folders that you do not require, re-name remaining folder if required

Thank you, John99, I'll give that a try.
