When I click on Bookmarks then select a folder to view its contents, I want to see those contents in alphabetical order By Name, not in the hpahazard order in which they were added. I know I can View them in the Library List in alphabetical order or change that to something else. But I want tp make the drop down list and the folder contents to be in alphabetical order all the time.

My thanks to cor-el for the answer to my alphabetizing question. Works like a charm ! so simple - I almost think I should have thought of it myself. At any rate, having the bookmarks alphabetized certainly reduces the frustration levels. Thanks!!!

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) is for viewing the bookmarks in a different sorting order (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.
Clicking the column header does the same sorting for viewing purposes only.
If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder.
