Reviews & Comments of Bookmarks Reorderer chrome extension

Flat out doesnt work. Nothing happens

This is a very useful extension, but has some issues. A big plus is that the code is very simple: if you unpack the crx, the key js file is only 22 lines. It works fine with chrome 98 as of Feb 2022. However, there are two major problems that I've found: 0) The option could be better explained. When this extension is enabled, bookmarks that you manually add (by clicking the address-bar icon, or typing Ctrl-d) are *always* moved to the top. There is no option to ask for confirmation about this. 1) The "...moved to a different folder" option only applies when bookmarks move from one place to another, and I strongly recommend *not* using it - set it to "never" in the options panel! The idea is simple: when you move a bookmark to a different folder, do you want it inserted at the top or bottom? But, like many things in life, this has unintended consequences. When you move a whole folder of bookmarks to another place, the ordering of the items in the entire folder gets reversed. Much worse, when you start up chrome and it syncs bookmarks that you created on another device, those get moved around, and then chrome may sync these new locations back to the cloud, and then this repeats ad-infinitum. If the option is set to ask, and there are a lot of bookmarks to sync, you'll get asked the "move to top" question over and over. 2) Be sure to disable this extension before using the "import" function of the bookmarks manager. Otherwise all the folders you import will get reversed. This happens independent of the option setting, so disabling the extension is the only way to prevent it. The extension could be fixed to prevent this, an explanation can be found at: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/bookmarks/#event-onImportBegan

Didn't work. First, it got stuck on the options page. Then when I tried to run it, I got a 404 error from Google.

Great small app. It's 2019 and this app is still working. Great Job. I would suggest the dev to ask google to merge his code into Chrome browser development code itself. This is a must have not only in Chrome but in any browser.

THANK.YOU. I needed this so much especially with long bookmark folders! It works perfectly and you can choose it for individual bookmarks or always have new bookmarks moved to the top of folders. Also thank you SO MUCH for not including any invasive and unnecessary permissions like "read and change all data".

So glad you've made this, and it is simple, does exactly what you want, no added BS. As a bookmarks super-user for extreme organization I thank you sir!!!

just got it and does what it sez and what I needed. Great.

OMG! Thankyou! Something that actually works, and It mirrors over to my mobile devices too which was the main problem since chrome removed All Items (Which orders them from most to least recent) on both mobile platforms and scrolling all the way down when I added a new bookark was frustrating.

Works exactly as I needed / wanted it to. Puts the NEW Bookmarks at the TOP of the list in the folder just as I think it should be.

I've been looking for this for months. Works perfectly. Posts your most recent bookmarks at the top of the list in the folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar instead of at the bottom.
