What I want is to sort my bookmarks in alpha order a-z. I would like to have ALL the Folders listed FIRST in alpha order a-z, then Have the rest of the bookmarks (which aren't in folders) listed in alpha order a-z. Is there a way to do this? This is a NEW install of Windows 7 SP1 [32-bit], and a new install of Mozilla Firefox 21.0 Beta. I backed up my bookmarks before I did a fresh install of everything, so I have a backup folder with a file (.json file) that holds all 897 bookmarks. I would really appreciate any and all help concerning this matter.

 As you can see, my Troubleshooting information is listed below. I have NOT installed any themes, addons or anything yet. Please, help me with this problem. There should be a way to do what I need to do without the help of any addons.

Thank You. David

Firefox will sort bookmarks between separators, so if you at least move all folder to the top and put a separator between those folders and the normal bookmarks the Firefox should sort them as you want.
