This lack of basic capability makes little sense. An item from the "Opera Developers" (found in one of my searches) last fall talked about spending a year understanding bookmark needs and yet the feature set is the poorest of any major browser

I have read through multiple threads on bookmarks and am still confused and rather frustrated that simple bookmark management is not available in Opera ...

I am running Opera 29; not sure if it is the latest version because every time it checks for updates, the check fails. I have transferred a reasonably large number (approx 250) bookmarks from Firefox to Opera and have been able to figure out how to organize the folders alphabetically. But the individual bookmarks in each folder are sorted in descending order (Z through A); they were A to Z in Firefox. How do I resort the items within a folder alphabetically. I can manually move things around, but an alpha sort is one of the most basic capabilities.

Also, how do I tell Opera that the default for all bookmark displays is LIST versus the idiotic big icons or whatever they are called.
