Add sort favorites by date/recent
Those of us with a LOT of favorites are glad to have the sort by name, but there is frequently the need to sort by date added to bubble up the favorite you added recently. While we're adding sort options, how about adding the "reverse" option for both by name and by date?
There seems to be a lot of discussion on favorite sorting, but no real discussion of this topic recently.
- This is something I really need as well.
when you sort your favorites by name, there is no way to go back. there is no option to sort them by date or recent order. Garlon Arthur i have the same idea

Additional new suggestions (not posted on chromium or edge website before)
- i wish a way to open random url inside a specific bookmark folder without need to use extensions too.
- maybe a way that bookmarks can create subfolders and move the items in such subfolders automatically (example by date of creation), a bit something like in the style of chrome extension autobookmarks for url organization.
if you mean the bookmarks panel, now there is no way to pin url, and even no way to delete all except pinned urls (outside you select all and deselect the pinned, or you select all other). i think they should add such pin urls too (or even pin folders) in case you want to reorder the urls.
- there is no way to fix url too (this doesn't mean pin to top, but url cannot be reordered).

similar suggestions (related to bookmarks topic):

now there is no way to merge url in folder, like we can do in finder. we always need to create a folder in bookmarks and then move links to such folder

add a way to search a specific folder and not always the whole bookmark....

add export selective bookmarks without need to add a specific extension for that. if we want to add 40k bookmarks, a lot of time the app simply crash... (avast, ghostbrowser, etc.) so would be much faster by importing only 2k items, instead of 40k.
plus sometimes i only want to transfer x bookmarks between chrome account, not all my bookmarks...edgesuggestions These items are only similar because they mention favorites. This request is for a unique specific new functionality involving the sorting of favorites within a folder. It does not involve searching or merging. I guess these must be automated "suggestions". In this case, the AI got it only 10% correct.
Garlon Arthur yes i know, this is why i added you to https://onelinkbio.com/moreedgesuggestions , because you suggested a different suggestion that i wish too, and this is still in the same topic "bookmarks" (without considering now suggestions related to the bookmarks bar at all)
PS: i edit the first comment, maybe now is more clear and i added 2 additional suggestions, after reading another post.
PS2: same problem available in chrome. this post has been submitted to edge feedback center
The solution is to use Collections rather than Favorites (Bookmarks),
because a Collection can be sorted by Name, Date, and Recently used,
in addition to being more modern and capable than Favorites.
