Hi,
If this is an issue with Safari, The apple support is at https://discussions.apple.com/welcome
If you imported bookmarks from safari, you may drag bookmarks in the menu to get your personal bookmark order.
Best wishes,
Andmagdo
Are you possibly using the iCloud Bookmarks extension ?
Lets Go again cause i ask it wrong!!!! OMG !

Hello archelaos.chatzinikolaou ,
When you open the Library (Ctrl + Shift + B) <big>→</big> "Views" (upper left side) <big>→</big> "Sort"; there you make your choice.
In case you've already tried that, but it didn't work : please let us know.
Did that ! but nothing happened ! Now i delete all bookmarks and restore them ! I want to see now....

I should have mentioned that "Views" (like the name suggests) is for viewing only and doesn't sort your bookmarks permanently.

Where do you notice this sorting ?
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox and retry.
If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
