Firefox Plugin to Sort Bookmarks by Multiple Criteria
Provide a way to sort all bookmarks and automatically sort bookmarks.
This extension considers separators, so that it sorts bookmarks between separators. This extension provides an icon to sort all bookmarks which can be added to a toolbar. To do so, you must choose the Customize option in the context menu on the Firefox user interface. This extension also adds an option "Sort all bookmarks" in a few Bookmarks menus. The user can remove these in the options.
Please backup your current bookmarks in case you do not like the new bookmarks order. Thus, you could restore them.
This extension provides a few options categorized within these categories:
- Main Options
- Exclude Root Folders
- Sort Criteria
- Sort Order
- Display Options
These options work like this:
Main Options:
- Auto-sort : if this option is enabled, the bookmarks will be sorted when Firefox is opened, when this option is activated and when bookmarks are added, changed, moved or deleted. This means you cannot move any bookmarks in the same folder, unless it is moved over a separator.
- Delay: allow to define a delay (in seconds) before automatically sorting bookmarks.
- Delay for Folders: allow to define a delay (in seconds) before automatically sorting folders. This is to avoid that a new folder is sorted before you can choose it when adding a new bookmark.
Exclude Root Folders:
- Sort Bookmarks Menu: if this option is enabled, the bookmark menu will be sorted, otherwise, it will be ignored when sorting.
- Sort Bookmarks Toolbar: if this option is enabled, the bookmark toolbar will be sorted, otherwise, it will be ignored when sorting.
- Sort Unsorted Bookmarks: if this option is enabled, the unsorted bookmarks folder will be sorted, otherwise, it will be ignored when sorting.
Sort Criteria:
- Sort By: allow to specify the first sort criteria, that is to say, the order that will be used to sort the bookmarks The choices are : name, url, description, keyword, date added, last modified, last visited and visited count.
- Inverse Order: if this option is enabled, the order specified in "Sort By" will be reversed. So the order will be descending.
- Then Sort By: allow to specify a second sort criteria (optional). For instance, if the first sort criteria is the name, it is possible to choose a second sort criteria to sort bookmarks with the same name.
- Inverse Second Order: if this option is enabled, the order specified in "Then Sort By" will be reversed.
Sort Order:
- Folder Sort Order : this option specify the order in which the folders are sorted. For instance, it is possible to sort folders before livemarks, smart bookmarks and bookmarks. To do this, the folder sort order should be lesser than the other sort orders. If the sort order of two types are at the same level, the bookmarks from these types will be sorted together.
