Safari bookmarks sidebar can't be rearranged

Since version 26.0.1 on Sequoia 15.7.1, my bookmarks sidebar is completely changed, with bigger icons, and folder icons. No inline folder toggle anymore. I hate it.

And the biggest problem of all. I can't rearrange the bookmarks (folders). When I go to the Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks menu. Those changes and sorting order, doesn't update in the sidebar.

I have always used the apple menu to access my bookmarks. I only ever opened my sidebar to rearrange them. (drag and drop) but since upgrading to safari 26, I could no longer use the sidebar to rearrange bookmarks. then I was pointed to "edit bookmarks" from the apple menu, where I CAN still drag and drop. and this is a sequoia problem. apparently on Tahoe, it's not all that difficult to set it up where drag and drop works in the sidebar.


so basically, to me, the safari sidebar is now obsolete. :)
