Is there a way to keep Bookmark Order from changing as part of sync?

Since I added Aurora on my tablet and my phone, and set up sync, apparently those bookmarks toolbar are in a different order than my ones on my desktop. Every time I start my desktop versions, the toolbars are in some random order (the most visited all the way to the right, list order changed). Now I generally put my items in order of use, and not in alphabetical. Is there anyway that I make it so that my sync with my mobile devices will not adjust the order of my bookmark sync?

Sorry, this is apparently a bug in Firefox Aurora for Android. I'll make sure the developers know about it and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Thank you. I guess I'll keep this open so people can see it is unresolved but being worked on.

Is anyone still working on this issue? I find it very annoying and I am forced to disable sync on my mobile phone because of it. I have added more details here and I am willing to help in whatever way I can.

If needed, I can provide a dump of my bookmarks for you to experiment with.
