Dear Mozilla: I am very much looking forward to Netscape 5.0. Everybody is excited to see the new browser. And when it is available at long last as a beta, I will certainly report any bugs to you (using Netscape 4.61 on Red Hat Linux 6.0). I noticed you have just released M8. I hope the beta is just around the corner. Please let me know if that is the case. I am taking this opportunity to make an URGENT plea for Netscape 5.0 to solve, if it has not already done so, the critical bug in AUTOMATIC ALPHABETIC Bookmark Sorting by Name that has prevailed since Netscape 4.0 was first introduced three years ago. As a registered user of Netscape (PE-2000AD3730157671), I called Netscape Tech Support and wrote several letters to Netscape's Tech Support site on the Internet concerning this CRITICAL issue. Nobody listened. Nobody seemed to care. At any rate, this terrible bug which has essentially rendered your great Bookmark feature worthless, continues to exist right up till the present time. I might add that many members of the Netscape mailing list complained about it, indeed, were outraged by it as I was. Why a great company like Netscape would go out of its way to shoot itself in the foot by disabling or NOT fixing this automatic sorting of bookmarks by NAME, the most important criterion of all, is something that is beyond my comprehension. In all candor, do you really expect your users to organize their thousands upon thousands of bookmarks MANUALLY? I am writing now so as to avert this kind of bookmark catastrophe in Netscape 5.0 (though I cannot for the life of me figure out why this could not have been fixed years ago. The feature was available in every pre-Netscape 4.x browser). I very much hope you LISTEN to your users on this issue. Don't you agree that a browser that does not allow you to automatically organize your bookmarks alphabetically is not meeting the needs of its users? Even the simplest browser will let you do that. Why can't Netscape? Looking forward to Netscape 5.0 at long last. So is the whole Internet. Thank you very much.

You can sort them alphabetically. :-) Try the M9 build ...

claudius, verify that all is well here with latest build please.

yes all is well and good, you can sort by name and many fancy things in bookmarks on all platforms. marking VERIFIED
