When I try to set the order of Bookmarks in Organize Bookmarks the library page opens, I select Bookmarks Menu, highlight a bookmark then go to Organize, Select All and all are highlighted, then go to Views, Sort, Sort Order Sort By Name, A > Z. I then Close the Library window. when I go back to Bookmarks drop down panel no order has changed. Even if I Restart Firefox after those actions it is still the same.

Changing the sort order in the Library does not change the sort order of the bookmarks menu. If you want to change the sort order in the bookmarks menu, see Sorting and rearranging bookmarks - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

The SortPlaces add-on may be of interest to you.

It is a pity that the process of changing the order was made with an additional step instead of just selecting the order and it automatically changing . However your answer did resolve the issue. Thank you.
