Although I have been using Safari for many years, there is little improvement in bookmark management. It shows the bookmarks in messy order and difficult to use it. It does not offer any sort key for an user-friendly order. The synchronisation with other MacOS, iOS or Windows are unreliable. I am unsure if I did not learn the use of it correctly or it requires a 3rd party software to help the Safari browser. Any advice or guidance are appreicated!

We hope this helps.

Hi barberlives123,
Thanks for your useful advice that resolves half of my issue. The browser is able to sort by name in alphabetical order. However the bookmark folders are required to arrange manually. Can we sort the folders as well?
Thanks for your re-confirmation. My iMac is running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and Safari 13.1.2. I could not find the way to sort the bookmark folders like sorting bookmarks within the folder. In above tutorial, it does not mention how to sort the bookmark folders at all. Probably you can do it with the most updated OS. I may check it with other latest macOS later.
Hey Ray Li1,
You should be able to organize your Safari bookmark folders as well. We tested this on our devices running macOS Big Sur and had no issues doing this.
Warm wishes.
