How to sort all the bookmarks in menu & sidebar by name?

HI,
Just drag the Bookmarks where you want them. Unfortunately, Safari won't alphabetize them for you.

How can I sort Bookmarks by name A-Z in the bookmarks drop down menu?

I have tried organize by name but it doesnt give an apply option and doesnt take effect

Sorting Bookmarks in the Library window (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for temporary display. The Bookmarks are not permanently sorted.
To permanently sort, open the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar ---- Cmd+B in OSX), right-click (Cmd+click in OSX) the "Bookmarks Menu" folder and choose "Sort by Name". See:

How do I sort my bookmarks by name?

I'd like to sort my Firefox Bookmarks by name (alphabetically), but I can't seem to find a way to do it. What I want is to sort them by name when I open Bookmarks menu in the Bookmarks Toolbar, same way they are sorted in Internet Explorer when you use "Sort by name". I did manage to sort them in the Bookmarks Library, but that doesn't seem to translate to the Bookmarks menu in the toolbar.
Please help me with this.
Thanks,
Veselin

When I go into my bookmark list they are random, I then sort them by name (A-Z) but when I leave site they do not remain in order. How do I keep them sorted by name permanently?

The bookmark lists, either unsorted or tagged, do not remain in alphabetical order when I leave site, how do I make this a permanent change?

How can I sort bookmarks within a folder by date such that this is apllied not only in the library but also on the toolbar?

Hello,
I have several folders on my firefox toolbar which I use to sort new bookmarks by topic. If I add a new bookmark to a folder it is alwas placed at the bottom (below existing bookmarks) which is somewhat annoying with a increasing number of bookmarks. I would like to have the bookmarks recently added at the top of the folder (above existing bookmarks).
It's no problem to sort them this way within the library. But back at the toolbar everthing remains the same. The only option that seems to work here ist 'sort by name'.
Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by 'date added' such that new bookmarks are placed on top and this is applied also outside the library?
I hope you get my problem!
Thanks!

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

Sorting slideshows by name

Im new at this so please bear with me if this is a simple question.
Im creating a menu with different submenus. Each submenu with multiple iphoto slideshows. When I go into each individual slideshow, I can see their names but I cannot sort it. I have to physically move each individual picture after another until each is sorted accordingly. Seems like a simple process to let me click on the top bar of the window and let them sort themselves. I spend 2 hours moving pictures around to get them in their proper naming sort order. Am I missing something?
Thanks for anyone that helps.

In Firefox the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks. 
Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) and right-click the folder that you want to sort. 
The bookmarks are sorted between separators and if you have folders and normal bookmarks then drag the folders to the top in the right pane and (temporarily) put a separator between the folders and the bookmarks. 
You can do the same in the Bookmarks side bar (Ctrl+B).

Sorting mailboxes by name

I have a nested mailbox structure in Mail.app.
Suppose that I have a mailbox named A and that within A I have mailboxes named B and C at the same level. Even if I order B and C so that C sits above B, it is nice that Mail.app does not force-sort them automatically by bringing B above C.
Now, suppose that I want a mailbox that acts as an artificial divider between B and C and that I name this mailbox as - - - - (4 dashes). The mailboxes now look like the following within A.
C
B (There shouldn't be any space above this, though.)
In the Inbox, I select one message. Then, from the menu bar, I select *Message > Move To*.
As I mouse over to the triangle on the right, I now see the 3 mailboxes within A sorted the following way:
B (There shouldn't be any space above this, though.)
C
How can I make this menu from *Message > Move To* to show the mailboxes in the same order as in the MAILBOXES column on the left?

How to sort bookmarks alfabetically?

I hate sorting my bookmarks manually. (Safari 4.1.2)
A function for sorting bookmarks - haven´t found it. Does it even exist?

Hi Sverker
Does it even exist?
not built-in, click a button or set a preference, no...
but if you select all the bookmarks in a folder, drag them out to a Folder on the desktop you created (with sort by name enabled, which is the usual default) - you can drag them back in again, duly sorted alphabetically, trashing the un-sorted ones right after.

Birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

Curiously, the most recently inputted entries do sort properly, as do all company entries.
Does that mean "most recently inputted" AFTER you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
If that is true, it would mean that something about your existing records before the upgrade, for the records that are people contacts (with first and last names) instead of business contacts, do not agree with Snow Leopard and/or Snow Leopard's version of Address Book.
This may not be feasible, but if you exported the records with this problems and then imported them, maybe they will be re-inputted so that are properly sorted.
If you use Time Machine, maybe you can use the +flying through space+ interface to restore one of the records with this problem to see if the restore process makes the record sort properly.

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

PSE6 - sort by file name

How to sort by file name in the Organize view of PSE6.
I tried Display->Folder Location. But there are still two pictures (#15 and #18 out of 130) which are shown at the end of the view.
More sort options in the thumbnail view would be helpful.
Thanks
Hagen

Not sure I understand what zou mean here Hagen. Do you because the
images are in a different folder they don't end up in the right sequence?

How can I make Sort by File Name the default in Adobe Bridge CS5?

The only online support I have found so far avoids the specific question. Must I assume that Sort by File Name cannot be made the default - and will revert to Manual each time I close Bridge?

If you have "start bridge at login checked" your changes will not keep unless you close program by clicking on File then Exit. Just closing window does not exit program.
Option is in advanced preferences.

How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
I have tagged them in Elements 11 as appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?
Tony

Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
Have I got this right?.
I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!

Virtual Copies, Stacking & Sort by File Name

The scenario is as follows...
I create a Virtual Copy of an image (Original & VC automatically stacked)
The file is sorted based on the File Name of the Original file.
I now move the Virtual Copy to the top of the stack.
The file has been moved to the very beginning of the sort list!!!???
Sort by File Name no longer works as expected even though the VC and the Original have the same file name.
This behaviour is the same whether the stack is collapsed or expanded.
File returns to correctly ordered sort position when Original is moved back to the top of the stack.
Does anybody have an explanation for this?
