## Description

Auto-Sort Bookmarks is a powerful Chrome extension that helps you keep your bookmarks perfectly organized by sorting them automatically based on multiple customizable criteria. You can enable auto-sorting to trigger on bookmark changes such as adding, moving, or deleting. It supports sorting bookmarks and folders by various criteria with options to invert the order or apply case-insensitive sorting.

Users can specify primary and secondary sorting rules, control sorting for folders separately, and even exclude certain folders from sorting recursively through an intuitive configuration interface. The extension also allows setting inactivity wait times to avoid sorting during active bookmark management. Auto-Sort Bookmarks ensures your browser bookmarks remain neatly organized without manual effort, enhancing your browsing productivity and navigation experience.

## Review summary

Auto-Sort Bookmarks is praised for automatically sorting bookmarks across all folders and sub-folders, saving users substantial manual effort. It is generally reliable and allows some customization. However, multiple users report delays due to a forced minimum inactivity wait, leading to slow sorting after drag-and-drop. Some have experienced browser instability when using recursive sorting. Additionally, occasional misordering in alphabetical arrangement occurs, and users desire clearer options to sort individual folders. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the add-on's utility and simplicity.

### Pros

- Automatically sorts bookmarks in all folders and sub-folders, saving manual work.
- Easy to use and effective in managing large bookmark collections.
- Reliable and has worked well for users over multiple years.
- Allows customization such as sorting by date added and reverse order.

### Cons

- Sorting delay due to minimum inactivity wait time set to 3 seconds, which some users find too long.
- Issues with browser instability and crashing after enabling recursive auto-sort.
- Sorting algorithm sometimes does not maintain correct alphabetical order, causing folders to be misplaced.
- Lack of clear instructions or features for sorting individual folders only.
