I went into organize bookmarks & selected menu to sort by name. It does but when I go back to my web page they are not sorted. Only while I have them on screen during the sort How can I keep them sorted?

Went to organize bookmarks, selected a folder on left side, then view and sort by name , a-z. The bookmarks were sorted alphabetically. But when I exit organize bookmarks then go to use bookmarks they are not sorted. Looked it up first before contacting you and followed the steps listed. Is there a save that I missed? I could not find a way to save the view. Tried it several times and each time it shows sorted while I have organize bookmarks open but then in regular use of bookmarks they are not sorted.

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.

Right-click a folder to open the context menu and choose "Sort By Name" in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager or in the side bar to sort the bookmarks alphabetically or drag bookmarks to the wanted position. If dragging doesn't work then use Cut and Paste instead.
