When searching bookmarks in library, the first and last items get swapped

[Dariush]

When performing a search over bookmarks (or a specific bookmark folder) in library, resulting items get sorted by date, but first and last items swap places. Here's what it looks like on a fresh profile:


This is present in Firefox as well.

You're not sorting by date. To sort by date you have to click the column header. looks like you don't use any sorting criteria in which case it is going to be ordered by whatever sort order the query results come back in. Having a sort criterion set does sort properly (I verified) so it's not a bug.

I know that manual sorting works correctly. The issue is that the default sorting makes no sense - it's almost by date, but not fully so to be completely useful; plus, the symptoms (the swap of two specific items) make me think that there's some unnecessary transformation being applied to the result set, so I thought that it may be worth a look. Alternatively, it may be a good idea to artificially swap the first and last items back into their places, so the default sort fully corresponds to sorting by date.

Look carefully. It didn't swap the first and last items.
What order it'll be in would depend on what order it happens to end up being stored in the database. That is unsorted and on an "as-available" basis. So, it "may" end up looking like what you have or it may end up completely random, all depending on the last db maintenance run, insertions, deletions, item sizes, etc.

Ah, all right. In that case, may I request an option to specify a certain sorting as default, please?
