Rearranging Safari Bookmarks.

Dragging doesn't work. Well it doesn't 99% of the time. Quitting Safari and reopening doesn't help. Neither does restarting Macbook. Any suggestions. This goes all the way back to High. Sierra. Professionally insulting that Apple allows such basic flaws to continue. Baffled.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

Rearranging bookmark folders Trying to rearrange bookmark folders in safari, but dragging does not work & sorting seems to only do the individual bookmarks within a folder. So what works?

Bookmark Troubleshooting At Apple's suggestion I'm asking this question again.. hoping for some help... I'm trying to organise a mountain of bookmarks, but can't reposition the folders - i.e. I have 20 numerical folders that I want to organise numerically.. Simple you would think... I've tried drag and drop in the bookmarks bar and I've tried the same in 'Edit bookmarks' but each time Safari simply drops the folder inside the nearest adjacent folder, rather than BETWEEN the two other folders. Then if I drag it out, safari drops it inside the next nearest closed folder and so on... Is there something I'm missing, or a method of moving them to a position between two other folders, rather than inside another closed folder? Thanks

Safari opens every bookmark in tabs after restart/new window This problem has been in the support forums before but never seems to get answered: after a system restart or opening a new browser window, Safari (v15, Big Sur, 2019 MBP 16") will open all my bookmarks in tabs. This is over a hundred tabs every single time. I know I can easily close all tabs with control+click but it's an annoying bug. Any ideas?
