Add-on summary
Settings:
- Auto-sort: If this option is enabled, the bookmarks will be sorted when bookmarks are added, changed, moved or deleted.
- Inactivity Wait: Specifies how long to wait (in seconds) for inactivity before sorting bookmarks. This applies to automatic and manual sorting. A minimum value of 3 and a maximum of 255. Recommend using a value of at least 45 if you move bookmarks by dragging.
- Case Insensitive: If this option is enabled, the bookmarks will be sorted without considering the letter case.
- Sort By: Specifies the first sort criteria to sort the bookmarks.
- Inverse Order: if this option is enabled, the order specified in 'Sort By' will be reversed. So the order will be descending.
- Then Sort By: Specifies the second sort criteria to sort the bookmarks.
- Inverse Second Order: If this option is enabled, the order specified in 'Then Sort By' will be reversed.
- Sort Folder By: Specifies sort criteria to sort folders.

- Bookmark Sort Order: Specifies the bookmark sort order. A minimum value of 1 and a maximum of 2.
- Configure Folders: This button opens a new tab allowing you to exclude folders when sorting. If you uncheck the checkbox next to a folder, it won't be sorted, but the children folders will be sorted. If you want to exclude a folder recursively from being sorted, check the recursive checkbox.
