## Description

Tab Stash Folder Organizer
A Firefox extension that solves Tab Stash's date format and sorting limitations by automatically organizing Tab Stash bookmark groups chronologically.

The Problem
Tab Stash is a powerful tab management extension, but it has limitations that make organizing large collections difficult:

Hardcoded US Date Format (Issue #147) - Tab Stash uses MM/DD/YYYY format regardless of user locale, and Firefox's Date.toLocaleString() doesn't respect locale settings on macOS (Bug #476419)

No Automatic Sorting (Issue #606) - No built-in way to automatically sort stashed tab groups by date, making it hard to find recent saves

No Date Format Customization - Users can't choose their preferred date format (ISO 8601, DD/MM/YY, etc.)

The Solution
This extension organizes Tab Stash bookmark groups by reading the ISO 8601 timestamps that Tab Stash embeds in folder names and sorting them chronologically (newest first).

Features:

Chronological sorting of Tab Stash groups by date
Safe backup system with one-click revert
Works with any bookmark folder containing ISO 8601 timestamps

Manual Build
git clone <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/40e3e160137cdb0c28a9a29756f6458d187f7742c414864185e8d65f12dd12d3/https%3A//github.com/Istiaq-Edu/bookmark-folder-organizer.git" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Istiaq-Edu/bookmark-folder-organizer.git</a>
cd bookmark-folder-organizer
python <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/f5c627de64cb5bfd0610585e7928672de146fd10f5fb64bdf468fd2f64399b63/http%3A//package_extension.py" rel="nofollow">package_extension.py</a>
Usage
Click the extension icon in Firefox
Select your Tab Stash parent folder (usually "Tab Stash")
Click "Rearrange" to sort groups by date (newest first)
Click "Revert" to undo if needed
The extension recognizes ISO 8601 timestamps in folder names like:

saved-2025-10-12T10:00:00Z
backup-2025-10-11T15:30:00.123Z
Folders without valid dates stay at the bottom.

Requirements
Firefox 57+
Tab Stash extension (or any bookmarks with ISO 8601 timestamps)
