GrizzieBear Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 It would be very useful to my if I could sort by URL in the bookmark manager. I have some folders with way too many things in them and this would be helpful to clear out the ones for the same website, but different page.

7twenty Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Just right-click on the folder you want to sort and select the "Sort by title" option. This can also be done on the favourites button list, the sidebar favourites and the favourites bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hi GrizzieBear, Were you able to make it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzieBear Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's not the title I want to sort by. It's the url. Thanks for replying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sorry, somehow I missed that... You have got to love the human brain.... sometimes it thinks it knows more than it does by occasionally missing some words! Back to your issue.. what you can do is: Export your favourites using Main Menu > Tools > Import/Export user data > Export Favourites > Export your Favourites to the selected folder Open the folder you saved it to. Then right-click the column headers > more... choose URL from the list. The URL will then be displayed and you can then sort using that column. If you have a number of folders, to show all the favourites in your list, type *.* in the search field at the top. Then sort by the URL column. Then just import the data again. At that point you will get the option of deleting the current favourites and importing the new updated list, or creating a new folder with the updated favourites. You can then adjust/delete the folders as required. Also keep a backup, just to make sure in case something goes wrong. If using a passport account, once done manually do a sync to ensure the data gets saved to the cloud. Good luck EDIT: cleaned up the last few sentences to make more sense after testing.

GrizzieBear Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was afraid of messing something up, so I followed your instructions up to sorting by the url. Then I dragged the ones I didn't want to a temp folder, and then used that list to delete the ones I didn't want in the favorites manager. Thanks so much for your help!

7twenty Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just tested the above and it all worked fine. Edited the above post so it all makes more sense. At least now you (and anyone else) know how to deal with it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
