You need to set the manual sort order (you may have it set to date/ Name etc but not manual) It looks like a hand with a pointing finger on the webpage under the bookmarks.

I'm having the same problem, despite using manual order... There's some sort of glitch. When you have a lot of bookmarks in a single folder and try to manually sort one, there are certain positions it won't accept and it will always jump further down the list than your dropped it.

I have not been able to replicate the problem. Are you guys dropping the bookmark "between" another bookmark (red highlight should appear between bookmarks) or are you trying to drop it on top of another bookmark (yellowish-brown highlight)?

You should drop between with the red highlight to move a bookmark.

Kurtis.

Let me know please :)

I'm dropping between bookmarks with the red highlight using Firefox (under Online Bookmarks > Organize Online Bookmarks...). When I drop, nothing happens for a second or two and then the bookmark will move, usually to where I've dropped it... but when it's a folder with a lot of bookmarks, sometimes it will jump to somewhere else instead. There are certain positions in which it won't let me place them.

Ahhh,

There is no manual sorting in the Firefox extension, only the website at this time. If you are trying to change the order in the extension it will not work :(

is there an announcement page on the website to tell what changes have been made and what up coming changes the programmers are looking to make?

this would be useful

FWIW, I'm able to change the sorting order in the extension with no problem about 90% of the time. The only time it creates issues is in folders with a lot (maybe 20 or more) bookmarks. But the feature definitely does at least exist in the extension, as I've used it successfully many times.
