How do I sort bookmarks by date only. Or list BM's as they are last entered?

I do not want FF to sort bookmarks. Just list as last saved in bookmarks like IE does, not alphabetically. I save a lot of BM's and its easier to delete if they are listed last as they were saved. Thank you.

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) is for viewing the bookmarks in a different sorting order (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently. Clicking the column header does the same sorting for viewing purposes only. If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder. You can't right-click individual bookmarks to sort them, only folders can be sorted this way.
