Reviews & Comments of Recursive Bookmark Sorter chrome extension

It's just a quick recursive alphabetical sorter. I used to use super sorter but suddenly it wants to know my browsing history so this is its replacement. (Pretty sketch when when a bookmark sorter wants to see your browsing history...) If you use ``Super Sorter`` switch to this! (Why isn't this function built into chrome ... why is it built into edge and firefox and basically every other browser.)

Amazing. I have over 14,000 bookmarks, and it alphabetized them instantly! I agree with some other reviewers that it would be a nice enhancement to give the user some selectivity over what folders get sorted. A simple version of this enhancement would be to let the user select a folder (in the Chrome bookmarks manager) and have this app sort just that folder's contents (recursively). You could get all you folders sorted (recursively) at once by picking the root folder, but you could be more selective when/if you needed to.

It really does its job! Alphabetizes in a jiffy! It's also pretty system intensive.. If your system has any weaknesses, running this may show you the weakpoints of your system from TaskManager .. I was surprised to see my disk struggling more than the memory. Someone was mentioned that it reordered his Bookmark Toolbar. I keep my buttons in Icon form only and didn't have that issue.

Got to knock one star off, as this recursive sorter seems to use alphabetic sorting. If I have folders numbered from 1 to 10, it will go "1" "10", "2", "3". Which is sorting, it's just ... not the most useful form of sorting. Otherwise, it's a great free extension which does what it says on the tin. I'd happily put 5 stars back if you were to change this feature. Thanks dev!

Does the job! Sorts every folder!. No options, no complications, it just works. Replaced SuperSorter which no longer works! -Jay-

It work's great and it's free. Only option I would like to see is the ability to exclude certain folders (e.g. toolbar)

Unlike the first bookmark sorter I tried, this one actually sorts bookmarks. Just works. Excellent.

5 stars. It does what it says :)) Thanks a lot!!!

Wow!!! Install, click the icon, wait a few seconds, and its done. I've saved countless hours of sorting and arranging all of my subfolders within their parent folder. In other words this app does a global sort of every folder in my collection of saved folders. This should be a feature for the Google Chrome OS. I highly recommend this app. Fantastic work Yuchen Wang!

You, are an unmitigated genius. So simple, so pure, lol! They are going to need you on Mars... ;)

This is EXACTLY what I wanted, super simple alphabetical recursive bookmark sorter click the button and its done. This should be built into chrome.

Oct 2019 and it works, great, well done developer, thanks.

It does what is says it does, which is great. It would be better if the user had some input into the sorting: * don't sort top level * don't sort these directories / dir matches : aaa; dirB; another_dir; this/sub/dir * sort these dirs by (say) date; this_dir; */recent; anotherDir There should be a context menu pop-up, that lets the user tag/set the sorting rules for the selected directory. There was an old Firefox plugin that did all of these, and would run on startup if you wanted. Those were the days . . .

Last Chrome update removed prior extension installed. Tried Super Sorter by Richard Corner but did not recursively sort as advertised. Installed Recursive Bookmark Sorter and worked as advertised. Thank you developer!

It works. So far, no problems.

I'm still not sure why this isn't built into the bookmark manager in Chrome, but I'm glad the author of this extension took the time to do something about it. It works as advertised and I no longer have to select each folder and then sort by name. The only improvement I would like to see is to add an option to exclude a folder. For example, I have all of my most visited sites on my Bookmarks bar, so it would be nice if this folder wasn't sorted. Other than that, great job and great extension!

Does it exactly, what it should do, namely sort all bookmarks over all subfolders. Same as Sprucemarks extension. But a lot more simple and possibly not consuming so much memory. Just click on button instead of having a background process running. Disadvantage: Only Alphabetical (I do not need anything else)

This little extension just saved me a headache. I have in past. Exported my Bookmarks to Firefox to sort them because Chrome for some reason only does one folder at a time. On top of hiding the sort bookmarks functions in the Bookmarks Manager vertical hamburger ... You would think that the developers would incorporate this for those, like me, that literally have thousands of bookmarks. On top of no URL link to the Chrome Extension Store in Google Chrome itself. Which is another gripe of mine.

It does what it says. A simple click to sort all the nested bookmarks.

Simple, and does EXACTLY what it says. Anybody who rated it less obviously didn't read what it does or look at any reviews. You can't rate something 1 star when it literally does EXACTLY what it says. One click, all bookmarks are now sorted. Thank you!

There should be option to do it by folder not all the f**kin bookmarks. Effed up my bookmarks Thank you for that

I installed this and lost my bookmarks. I can see bookmarks tab on the bar but clicking on the bookmarks tab no longer drops down for link selection.

After using other apps with more options. This one works. Simply works.

Very happy with the sorting, it does what it says whereas other available sorters did not do what they claimed to do.

Can't get it to work and can't find any instruction. Clicked the icon and it just says bookmarks sorted - no provision visible to change sort criteria.

This recursive sorter is awesome! One press of the button and all the bookmarks in all the bookmark folders are sorted. A great time saver!

Perfect app to re-order any quantity of bookmarks in any folder. Checked.

Simple, always works, even in Opera browser. Love this; it is a lifesaver.

Thank you! No more laborious sorting of bookmarks! This will work perfectly until Google decides to implement an auto-sort feature.

In two clicks: 1. Install the addon. 2. Click the icon in Chrome. I finally had my bookmarks easily sorted. And, all my subfolders. Thank you very much.

By one click it's done. Easy! Thanks.

Works when it wants to.

Installed Recursive Bookmark Sorter extension. Closed all Chrome tabs. Exited the browser and then restarted the Chrome browser. Right click on icon has no User options. This sorts everything including the bookmarks bar. I have the show RAM extension as well.. When I clicked the Recursive Bookmark Sorter button, RAM jumped between 4.3 GB to 4.7 GB. While this was happening, my Gaming Laptop fans were running full blast. After the extension finished a few minutes later the fans stopped. My whole bookmarks bar is now sorted (root folders, sub folders, and their content bookmarks), but inside my bookmarks manager there are still tons of duplicate bookmarks and duplicate folders. Checked Chrome browser settings Task manager to see that the extension stopped. So that's all it did. Uninstalled

This has saved me hours of work! Very useful & satisfying, a real time-saver. I am so happy to have found this utility. Thank you Yuchen Wang! :)

very nice and one click does the job !

Dammit you could at least make a simple prompt and not making irreversible changes without even asking.

WOW! Great extension, it's really useful, love it! Thank you Yuchen Wang!

Perfect.

Instant satisfaction, except for one thing too minor to knock it down to 4 stars: at the beginning of my bookmarks bar I have my most frequently used links (like all my Google apps, Library Thing, Inoreader, and the like) displayed as icons only, followed by the folders in the bar. Sorting reversed that, putting the icons after the folders. No big deal; otherwise does just what it says, and very quickly.

Wish there's an option to set folders first, or bookmarks first.

Only sort by name. Includes bookmarks bar, which is a bad idea for anybody who actually uses it. It should exclude that be default.

My Google bookmarks were chaos. I read the reviews of a couple of duplicate bookmark deletion extensions and decided not to try them. While this extension doesn't cull out duplicate bookmarks for deletion, it makes the manual deletion of unwanted bookmarks a lot easier by sorting them all alphabetically. In doing so it leaves a lot of empty bookmark folders that can be deleted, and it makes slogging through the rest less sloggy. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it DOESN'T delete duplicate bookmarks. An extension that combined this function with duplicate deletion would be really terrific.

Works excellent! Does what it says. Thanks you.

A fantastic extension, does exactly what it says it will. Well done!

Perfect works as described. Have been looking for this for a long time, super time saver.

Well, that's helpful. Having hundreds and hundreds of saved pages and folders get a bit sloppy. Fix that in a split-second. Click-clack-clean! After using it a bit one useful feature would be to add "Exceptions". To keep certain folders or bookmarks from moving. Ones you prefer to keep on your bar at the front, etc. But still very helpful.

Thanks you !!! You solve my few years problems !!!

As they say at the fat-factory that is McDonalds ... I'm lovin' it!

Amazing... I thought I'd have another headache.... Awesome! Very helpful, easy to use and, most of all, no time consuming!!!! Great!

Works Perfectly for me, Thank You!!

worked where supersorter and sprucemarks didn't

Does what it is supposed to. Sort out all bookmarks in alpha order.

Great!

Perfect. Reordered all of my bookmarks alphabetically with one click.

It sorts the bookmark toolbar as well as all of your other bookmarks. Now I have to reorder my bookmarks again. No option to change this behavior either.

Simple but effective

Thanks for working correctly

Brilliant. Save time sorting all bookmark folders and files alphabetically with one click.

Perfect. No extras, just a button to sort bookmarks.

works as advertised.

Works like a charm. Exactly what I expect. Now sorting bookmarks under multi-level folders is an effortless task. What a time saver it is! I will recommend this extension to anyone looking for such a utility.

can only sort by name.

Great!!! Reorder my bookmarks with just one click!

Worked great -- would be cool if it had more options (i.e. other sorting criteria / delete duplicates / automatic sorting) and if it worked with other add-ins (Like TabCloud for example).

Works perfectly. Exactly what I was looking for.

works

感谢作者的辛勤劳动！另外问一下，为什么对中文书签的排序不是按照汉语拼音呢？chrome书签栏的“按标题重新排序”功能是按照汉语拼音来的。

Nice and neat. Thanks

FINALLY. It's ridiculous to require an extension to do this, but I'm thankful that some folks know how to do this stuff, or being particular would be killing me. Thanks Yuchen Wang!

This is what I'm looking for, just awesome!

This one works! SuperSorter did not recurse through multiple folder levels.

Fantastic! Sorted folders that were stuck at bottom that Super Sorter would not do

Works great and quickly. I have 15000 entries

Works, but would be nice to have an automatic sort option.

Works great, even with alot of folders!
