Inappropriate?The ability to sort bookmarks or folders of bookmarks is something that is sadly lacking from theis product. Why a bookmark manager was released without the obvious feature of being able to alphabetically sort I do not know.
Sorting by tags/keywords would also be an added bonus.
I’m disappointed

Inappropriate?Hey Carlos,
Firefox has a great utility to sort your bookmarks. Go to: Firefox->Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks
Click the Bookmarks Toolbar or Bookmarks Menu in the left side (depending on what you want to sort) so your bookmarks are displayed on the right side of the window. You can also select a particular folder, and alphabetically sort it's contents.
From there, click view->sort->A->Z or Z->A. The contents will then be sorted. After you're finished, you will then perform a manual upload in Xmarks. This will overwrite the server contents with your newly sorted bookmarks. You can do so by: Firefox->Tools->Xmarks->Xmarks Settings->Advanced Tab-> Upload.
When that is finished, I would perform a Download (same place as upload) in each of your other computers/browsers, to make sure your sorted bookmarks are syncd properly.
Hope that helps! -

Inappropriate?Hey Colin,
Sorry about that, I gave the wrong directions. :) Open organize bookmarks again, and right click the folder or root folder you'd like to sort. Most of your bookmarks will be contained in the "Bookmark Menu." If you'd like to sort the whole bookmark set, right click Bookmark Menu or for your toolbar "Bookmarks Toolbar."
Select "Sort by name" and you're done.
Thanks for your patience! -
Inappropriate?Nate,
The ability to sort bookmarks in the XMarks web interface is still lacking from what I have experienced.
I realise that the bookmarks can be sorted in Firefox but as an online bookmark manager, that a variety of browsers can use, the ability to sort the bookmarks via the web interface by right clicking on a folder is lacking.
I’m frustrated

I completely agree with Hylton. I spent a substantial amount of time searching for the sort function on the online manager, assuming such a basic function would be there. -
Inappropriate?I wonder if sorting ability will ever be added to web interface.

Inappropriate?We can only hope the developers hear us and that as a result it comes to fruition. Failing that, I am sure there are other bookmarks managers who have the functionaility.

Inappropriate?Prior to www.xmarks.com - I have been using www.zinkmo.com which worked well.

Inappropriate?What I like about XMarks, aside from being free, is that it i s cross-platform ie I can use it on Linux or Windows
