Severity: wishlist

Hi!

The order defined by the user for his/her bookmarks and bookmark folders
should be stored along with the bookmark themselves and preserved.
The reason is that the user-defined order is often significant and should
not be messed with.

Example: suppose I use the "New Folder" button in the sidepanel to
create four bookmark folders named "first", "second", "third", and "fourth".
Suppose that I create these folders in the above-described order.
The sidepanel shows

  first
  second
  third
  fourth

as it should, but the Bookmarks menu shows

  first
  fourth
  second
  third

which seems to be a lexicographical order (has the feature requested
in bug #535589 been implemented, after all?).
However, if I change my mind and want to alter the order of these
four folders, I cannot get what I would like to: if I drag "first"
to the bottom (within the sidepanel), I get the following order
in the sidepanel

  third
  second
  fourth
  first

while I expected to see

  second
  third
  fourth
  first

The bookmarks menu still shows

  first
  fourth
  second
  third


What I would like to see, as I anticipated above, is Midori preserving
the user-defined order for bookmarks.
More in detail:

  * bookmarks and bookmark folders should be shown in the user-defined
    order, both in the sidepanel and in the Bookmarks menu

  * the user should be able to modify the order by simply dragging
    elements (bookmarks or bookmark folders) up and down in the sidepanel,
    and by cutting, copying, and pasting them

  * there should be a "Sort" menu entry (in the menu that appears when
    you right-click on a folder in the sidepanel): this entry should
    lexicographically sort all the elements in the folder (so that
    the submitter of bug #535589 could be happy, too), but should
    not prevent future order modifications by the user

  * the concept of "bookmark separators" should be implemented (please
    see how this concept is used in the Galeon web browser)

I hope this makes sense and may be easily implemented.
Please forward this feature request upstream, if appropriate.

Thanks for your time.
