Q: How to alphabetize bookmark folders?

Back up all data.

From the Safari menu bar, select

Bookmarks ▹ Show Bookmarks

or press the key combination option-command-B.

Select the bookmark folders you want to sort and drag them to the Desktop. A file folder will appear there with the name of each bookmark folder you dragged.

Delete the selected bookmark folders in the Safari window.

Drag the file folders you created on the Desktop into the Safari window.

Delete the file folders.

I know it works, but doesn't this method seem archaic?

How hard would it be to make "Alphabetize" an option when you right-clicked on the folder?

Try harder, Apple.

There is a perfectly good and free app that will alphabetize all of your bookmarks and folders in Safari in seconds. The program is called Safari Sort. It can be found at:www.safarisort.com.  It is a Universal Mac application that has been successfully tested on OS X Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion and Snow Leopard.  Hope this is helpful.

Is Safari Sort safe to download and will it work with El Capitan latest upgrade?
