My bookmarks will not "sort" on one list, instead they make a short list right before the main list, so how do I get them to all go into the same list?
When I put my bookmarks in "Bookmarks Menu", and sort them by "name", there is a short list of alphabetized names, then the main list of alphabetized names. They are all in the "Bookmarks Menu" file, but won't merge, for some reason. It is as if they were in a separate file, but they aren't. I might be able to move them manually, by dragging them, but that is a major inconvenience. I usually rename the individual sites, so I can remember them, but that seems to make no difference, as all the main list will alphabetize with no problem....

Sounds that you have a separator in the Bookmarks Manager menu folder.
The bookmarks are sorted between separators, so if you want to sort them in one list then you have to remove that separator in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
Thanks for the response, cor-el....Seems like I've seen your name and help on the Secunia forum, maybe? And it does seem like I have a separator, but that is not the case. After opening the manager, and all bookmarks, the "Bookmarks Menu", by double clicking, shows 4 separators, and the fourth section has two alphabetized lists, (without a separators) The first list is about thirty, and the second list of all the rest, 100+. I've looked all through the two referrals you mention, and nothing fits. I just downloaded the "SortPlaces" add-on and will see if that works out just to get around the "short list" that tends to throw me off in looking up bookmarks in the main (longer list). Thanks for your suggestions, I will let you know how it works out, but tonite I am ready for the sack....manana.. PS. I am including a screenshot that shows how it is organized, with the short list on the top, and the start of the "A's" on the longer list....(couldn't get any more on the page for the screenshot)
I don't see any separator lines in that screenshot.
Separators don't appear in the Library window, and the Sort in the Library window isn't permanent. You need to look in the Menu drop-down or in the Sidebar view of bookmarks, and that's where you need to do the Sort from. The "sort" only goes as far as the first separator - each separator sets a different "group" of bookmarks; after each separator you need to sort again, and that group of bookmarks will be alpha separate from other bookmarks above or below a separator.
