Mac favorites not syncing, different my my iPhone.

I can't figure out why my Mac desktop is no longer syncing my favorites, it is like they disappeared. My iPhone still has them as I would expect tough.

iMac 27", macOS 10.13

Favorites not showing on safari My favorites are not showing on my iPhone or iPad but show on my MacBook. How do I get them back? I checked the iCloud setting and it’s switched on for synchronization.

Favorites on iPhone are not in same order as on Mac in Safari After last macOS update I see that favorites on start page in Safari are not in same order as on iPhone. iCloud sync is on and working. When I save new bookmark on iphone to favorites it sets it on bottom but on Mac that bookmark appears on top but not first but after some other bookmarks. I then move it to bottom on Mac Safari and after that it is on top at my iphone. That bug was not present in Monterey 12.2, but I first noticed it in Monterey 12.3 and now in 12.3.1. It is like syncing order is messed up between iphone and Mac in Safari favorites.

Favorites Toolbar Hi, I'm running the latest OS on my iMac, and iPadOS 14 on my iPad Air. Safari bookmarks are synced between devices via iCloud. The syncing is working fine. I'd like the Favorites that appear on the Favorites toolbar in Safari on my iMac to be different than the Favorites that appear on the Favorites toolbar in Safari on my iPad. I thought the way to do this on my iPad was to go to Settings > Safari > Favorites, and change the selection from "Favorites" to something like a folder called "Mobile" that contains the favorites I want to see on the Favorites Toolbar on the iPad. That doesn't seem to work. The only difference when I do that is that the "Mobile" folder appears as my Favorites folder (the "star" icon) when I click the Bookmarks icon in Safari on my iPad. The favorites in the toolbar remain the same. Am I misunderstanding how that Favorites setting works? Thanks.
