Right now if I have bookmarks with numbers the sorting is like this:

1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 30, 31, 32, 4

And I would like for the sorting to be more natural:

1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 30, 31, 32

Is like is ignoring decimals.

Could anyone tell me how can I change this?

Thanks in advance.

Chosen solution

Bookmarks are sorted according to their ASCII presentation. You would have to add leading zeros and give all numbers the same length.

Wow, thanks a lot for the fast reply.

Yeah, I have done that before, but I was looking for a more automatic solution. Maybe in about:config or an Add-on.

You're welcome.

Firefox and likely extensions wouldn't be aware of the numbers. They would only see a name and would have been designed to recognize these leading numbers and would require complicated programming as you would have to test for a number at the start of the name and a specific separator.

Oh ok, now I'm sure there is no solution, I can heave ease of mind.

Thanks a lot.
