FR: Bookmarks should be sortable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to be able to configure the sorting order of the Bookmarks in 
the main GMarks Screen and also in the label-specific folders ("alphabetic" or 
"last modified" / up or down).

Well, it's difficult to sort labels by last modified since technically the 
labels aren't modified, the bookmarks are.  It's doable, but not 
straightforward.  

So currently you can sort labels by count or alphabetically.  Once you're 
looking at a bookmark list (either the 'all bookmarks' list or bookmarks for 
any label) you can sort the bookmarks by alpha or last modified.  

The "Sorted by date" on the "All bookmarks" item is not really accurate now; 
'all bookmarks' could be sorted by title.  I need to change that string.

Hi,
i don't want to sort the labels, I want to be able to sort the bookmarks with a 
specific label. So that all bookmarks of a label will be displayed in the 
configurated order (on the program screen,  and in the dynamic folders). 

At the moment, all bookmarks "in" a label are sorted by modification time. Only 
the labels themselves are sorted by alphabet.

So in GMarks, when you click on a label, you see a list of bookmarks.  Tap the 
menu key.  You should see an option to sort by alphabetical order.  So you can 
sort bookmarks by either alpha or modification time.  

If you're saying you'd like to be able to put bookmarks in _any_ order you 
want, well...  I'll consider it but it would take quite a bit of work.

Really, the quickest way to access any bookmark is probably the search 
function.  Auto-complete lets you tap out usually just a few letters to find 
the bookmark you're looking for.  I understand this isn't at all what you're 
asking for, but just suggesting an alternative.

I'll keep this in the backlog and if enough people ask for it I might consider 
implementing it.  This is another item that the Google Bookmarks webapp doesn't 
itself provide, and my core aim is to create the most straightforward access to 
the Google Bookmarks service as it exists.

Thanks for your suggestion.

the live folders for each label are the most important feature i use, and 
without an option to sort the contents of such an folder, it's very difficult 
to find a specific bookmark.

Thanks for considering my wishes :)
