One of my most used bookmark folders needs sorting A>Z.

Sort by Name (or)

THEN, I go back to the SeaMonkey main window (desktop?) and click
Bookmarks Toolbar
and click on the folder I just sorted.
BAM ! Same as before ! The "sort" didn't stay, stick, remain - get
saved.....
What am I doing wrong. Used to work with earlier SM's.
Have I missed a step ?

So it appears that in SM 2.46, there IS NO sort LASTING function for
the Bookmarks.
What / Where is the file stored - perhaps WORD or some data processor
can permanently sort the Bookmarks.
Wow !
Bookmarks are in places.sqlite, a database file you can process with
the SQLite Manager extension. Lots of luck!!
All may not be lost.
I experience a problem nominally unrelated to "sorting".
It may suggest thought paths "outside the box" that creative souls might
exploit.
My problem is accumulation of bookmarks over too many years.
They were categorized in ways that made sense *AT THAT TIMES* ;/
Now? "Hodgepodge" implies too much organization.
I've been experimenting with a sequence of :
1. Export bookmarks in HTML
2. Massage HTML representation
3. Import tweaked HTML
The results to date have *NOT*:
1. persuaded me to give up.
2. encouraged me to publish anything.
IOW Does anyone have spare 96 hour days for 70 day weeks ?
YMMV <grin>
