Bookmark folders keep going out of order, using sync.

So pretty much, my bookmarks folders keep going out of order in Firefox for android. I have it synced with my PC, where the bookmarks originated. A lot of folders, interests and stuff like "Movies", "Anime", "Anime 2", "Music/bands" etc. When I first synced, they appeared out of order on Android. And it even made them go out of order on my PC (Windows 10), which has never happened before that.

That was two days ago, I re-ordered the folders back into order on PC, clicked sync now, then synced on the phone manually, and both were in order all day yesterday. Today I used my phone first to go to a couple bookmarks, and noticed the folders were out of order again. And in the same way they were out of order last time, stuff like "Stuff 3" being above "Stuff 2" instead of below it, etc. And "Anime 2" being way down the list, instead of right below "Anime".

Looking at previous topics, it seems the community knows that syncing with a mobile device can mess up your bookmarks. And I haven't seen any solutions. So I'll submit a thing to the Firefox input on this. But asking here just in case anybody does happen to know of any fixes for this, or other info. Thanks.

Hi

I have had this happen to me in the past, by after a few sync cycles, you should find (like I have) that your bookmarks and bookmark folders on both devices stay in the right order.
