Name: bmsort.pl - sorts a Netscape/Mozilla bookmark file Usage: bmsort.pl options Options: -U : Sort by url. Default is to sort by title + url. -f : Sort with folders first. Default is sorting with urls first in a (sub)folder. Bugs: None known Notes: I have had this idea since Netscape removed the sort function from their bookmark manager. I had used another utility, Bookmark Magic, but it was a MS-Windows only program. This program works by creating an associative array, with the key being generated by a concatenation of keys indicating folders, urls, separators, end of folders, and the folder names, urls or titles and urls, to keep bookmarks with the same title from being overwritten. I changed the key to url + title after discovering missing bookmarks during testing.
