I can't get Sort By Name to work on the Bookmarks Menu. How do you sort your folders alphabetically?

I have my bookmarks sorted in folders. When I create a new folder it goes to the end of the list. I have tried going into Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks, right click on Bookmarks Menu and Sort By Name but nothing happens. I have to manually move the newly created folder. Pat

Open the Bookmarks Manager. Open the folder branch tree. On this tree, select the folder you want with a right click.

I have no problem sorting an individual folder by name, I can't get the list of folders to sort. As you can see by the attached images, several folders I've added are at the bottom of the folder list and even after I right click on Bookmark Menu/Sort By Name, they don't alphabetize. Pat

Sorry, here is the other image.

Whatever folder you want to sort, go up to its parent branch and right click.

Sorry, I don't seem to be getting my message through. It's not one folder I am trying to sort. Sorting one folder is not the problem. Sorting the LIST of folders is the issue.

I have a list of 50+ folders. I want them alphabetized so when I bookmark a website the folders will be in alphabetical order.
