I want to be able to sort bookmarks by Tags within any bookmarks folder. Now am I seeing this right? At present this is possible - but only in reverse alphabetical order. I.e., click Views | Sort by Tags - and get the order z,y,x... from the top of the list, or a,b,c... from the bottom of the bookmark list.

This seems to make no sense. What I want is:

Name                             Tags
Desdemona Enterprises            a
Zillion Web Zappers              b
Alphamygosh the Blogman          c
Wherever the webman              d


Etc, etc.... you get the picture

I could then use the tags to order the list from the top down.

If the Tags column (Views > Show Columns) is visible in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) then you should be able to toggle between A-Z and Z-A sorting by clicking on the Tags column.

Yes but that doesn't solve the problem. I can sort, but as I mentioned above:

"I get the order z,y,x... from the top of the list, or a,b,c... from the bottom of the bookmark list. "

Which isn't what I want.

I want a,b,c from the top of the list.

But the Tags order themselves counter-intuitively.
