SortPlaces

Get your Firefox bookmarks under control

Do you feel your Firefox bookmarks are getting a little out of control? If you’re having problems, download a program like SortPlaces and regain the upper hand.

This Firefox add-on allows you to sort your bookmarks and keep them that way, so you don’t have to re-sort later. SortPlaces is configured in the Options window, where the settings are divided into Sort order and Options. You can then sort Menu, Toolbar or Unfiled bookmarks, moving between the options via tabs. Within each of these sections are primary and secondary filters so, for example, you can sort the bookmarks on your toolbar by date added, and then by name.

SortPlaces’ options allow you to set the app to sort automatically, include or exclude folders, and to display all or some of the SortPlaces icons. In fact, these icons are probably the weakest part of the program – clicking on them just calls up the Options window, but doesn’t actually let you do anything directly. The Folder ordering option could also do with some explanation – I had to look it up on the SortPlaces website before I understood what it did.

Messy bookmarks don’t stand a chance with SortPlaces!
