Comment #13 on issue 4962 by [email protected]: Bookmark import should retain the order of the bookmarks from source browser
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4962

I did some investigation.

Bookmarks order is stored in binary registry values "Order" here:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites

Microsoft support site & forums mention this path only as a solution when one need to
re-order bookmarks in alphabetical order so deleting this key helps.
I haven't found description in MSDN but there is description of format by someone who
did some investigation:
http://www.arstdesign.com/articles/iefavorites.html
Format is different for Win 2000/WinXP+

Firefox imports IE bookmarks in alphabetical order too. I suppose relying on a not
documented registry key could be tricky.
