Since Version 8, Bookmarks "Sort by Name" does not work. Any workaround?

When selecting bookmarks and scrolling down to a desired bookmark, right clicking on the selected bookmark brings up a sub menu with "Sort by Name" as one of the choices. Clicking on "Sort By Name" has no effect. No sorting occurs.

I sent in a bug report back when version 8 was released but have received no feedback. I'm now running version 9.0.1!

Any workaround or plans to fix in a future version?

Try this extension:

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I did find that by selecting VIEW - SIDEBAR - BOOKMARKS and then right-clicking on a folder and selecting SORT BY NAME, the sort function works fine. It just does not work when selecting BOOKMARKS directly.
