How can I do this? This is one of the things I miss most from Firefox is the bookmark manager. So unorganized in Chrome, and no way to see one created before or after if using the search.
I've read these which tell me I cant:
- Where is the SORT BOOKMARKS BY DATE option? - Google Chrome Help ...
- Cannot Sort Bookmarks by Date? - Google Chrome Help - Google Support
- How do i revert alphabetically sorted tabs to chronological order ...
- How to sort chrome bookmarks by date - Quora
That last one links an ext that isn't compatible with my Chromium or it might work. Unfortunately, it just stopped being open source.
The extensions I've found mostly sort by name:
- SuperSorter is only alphabetical.
- Recent Bookmarks is helpful.
- There seemed to be a better one quoted below, but the links are dead:
Chrome Bookmarks Sorter is a handy tool (for Windows) which will allow users to sort bookmarks recursively by name or date added through all of your bookmark folders.
I've found the Bookmarks location, in Ubuntu its: ~/.config/chromium/Default/Bookmarks. Its in json format and it looks like the alphabetizer exts just sort and replace the "id": "225" number in alpha order, so I could probably script the same to reorder by date. Anyone have pointers to a script that already does this?
EDIT: I just answered someone elses question on this topic at SU. So I'm linking that answer here as it has another approach to scripting a reordering back to date sorted: https://superuser.com/a/1542328/388883
