Sort Chrome bookmarks by date newest first

Viewed 6506

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:

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:

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

You could try Rewind (disclaimer: I'm the author)

It does sort bookmarks by date newest first, but it also displays the bookmarks you saved on the same date one year ago, two years ago and so on.
