Easy to use, Safari stayed out of your way and let you effortlessly navigate from site to site. It introduced sophisticated design elements that made browsing a joy. But from the day it was released, Safari set the bar higher for web browsers. This can be slightly tricky, but just keep your mouse pressed when dragging the bookmarks and reposition the cursor until the blue indicator is in your desired location.At one time, web browsers simply got you to the Internet. On the right, the blue line being shifted in slightly means that your bookmarks will drop into the Favorites folder. On the left, the blue line on the outside of the folder icon means the bookmarks will drop into the top-level directory. See the screenshot below for a comparison: The location of the blue line will indicate whether your bookmarks will drop into the top-level bookmarks directory or into one of your folders. One note: if you have folders in your Safari Bookmarks, like the Favorites folder in our example screenshots, be sure to pay attention to the blue line indicator when dragging your bookmarks back into Safari. This will re-add the bookmarks in alphabetical order: Finally, drag and drop your bookmarks from your Finder folder back into the Safari Bookmarks Manager. Next, delete your bookmarks in the Safari Bookmarks Manager. If it didn’t, use the Finder columns to sort them. In most Finder configurations, simply dragging and dropping the bookmarks into the folder will sort them alphabetically. Then, open the Safari Bookmarks Manager ( Option-Command-B), select all of your bookmarks (being sure to deselect any folders if necessary) and then drag and drop the bookmarks into your new folder.Īll of your bookmarks will appear in the folder as Website Location files (.webloc). We’ll use this folder as an intermediary to sort our bookmarks alphabetically. To start, create an empty folder on your desktop. Reader James emailed us after the publication of this article to recommend another way to sort your Safari bookmarks without the use of any third party apps. For those adding lots of Safari bookmarks on a regular basis, you could also try creating an Automator action that runs SafariSort on a regular schedule. You’ll therefore need to run SafariSort manually each time you want to re-sort your bookmarks. Once you’ve sorted your bookmarks, new bookmarks will continue to be added to the bottom of the list per Safari’s default behavior. The only downside is that SafariSort doesn’t work in real-time as you add bookmarks. You should see them now all sorted alphabetically, which will make things much easier to find going forward. Once it’s done, launch Safari and open your Bookmarks. The app will process for a moment, the length of which depends on the number of Safari bookmarks you have. Once you’ve installed and given the necessary approvals to the app, run SafariSort from your Applications folder and choose to sort all bookmarks and folders together alphabetically, or to keep the folders on top and sort individual bookmarks alphabetically below them. Note that you may need to work around Gatekeeper to open the app, and adjust your settings to grant the app permission to access your Safari bookmarks.
To try it out, head over the SafariSort website and download the latest version of the app (version 2.0.2 as of the date of this article’s publication, which works on macOS Mojave 10.14.0).
