Teaching Firefox to count?

[JBeukema]

Anyone know how to fix Firefox's 'sort bookmarks by name' feature so that 2 comes BEFORE 11 (you know actually counting the numbers correctly: 1,2,3,4,5..), instead of it going 1,11,12,13,2,21,22...

I am lost...what do you mean?

 

[JBeukema]

Okay.

I have bookmarks that are alpha-numerical

As it stands, it organizes them like this:

'Science Journal Entry Page 1'
'Science Journal Entry Page 12'
'Science Journal Entry Page 13'
'Science Journal Entry Page 14'
'Science Journal Entry Page 15'
'Science Journal Entry Page 16'
'Science Journal Entry Page 2'
'Science Journal Entry Page 21'
'Science Journal Entry Page 23'
'Science Journal Entry Page 3'



I want a way to make it it do it like this:

'Science Journal Entry Page 1'
'Science Journal Entry Page 2'
'Science Journal Entry Page 3'
'Science Journal Entry Page 4'
'Science Journal Entry Page 5'
....
'Science Journal Entry Page 11'
'Science Journal Entry Page 12'
'Science Journal Entry Page 13'

I want it to count the numbers and not simply treat it as a literal extension of the alphabetical organization.

I don't sort bookmarks, guess I'm not anal-retentive enough.
Sorry, can't help ya.

Never tried it, but add zeros out to the hundreds place?

Shouldn't that work?

I dunno, I have my FF bookmarks sorted by category:

Work
Bills and finances
Funny Shit
Boards
Misc Shit
Music



Of course, it's really just porn in all of them.

[JBeukema]

I am not about to manually edit that many bookmarks.


Why the hell does it not have intuitive sorting built-in?

I will ask the guy I take care of. He knows a lot about that kind of crap, and he bookmarks everything. He also runs Firefox.

My categories are labeled like so:

201007080001A
201007080001B

etc...

The 20100708 is the date that I created the category folder, and the 0001 is the number of the category. The letter A-Z is assigned to each category in the order that I create it.

As I see it, I can create 259,974 categories per day before I run into trouble.

And just like RMATL...these are all for porn.

You have to take care of someone who is able to use the computer?

Is he a quad?

Or just someone who spends so much time on the internet that he forgets to take care of himself?

(The latter sounds familiar...)

No, he is a qaud. He has CP. He can use the mouse, but he has a voice program. The guy is very smart though, for one all he does all day is listen to lectures, pod casts, and books on tape. He is also good with computers. He helped me save my computer when it was attacked this spring.

He plays World of Warcraft, because he can still use his mouse and a controller. Typing is out of the question, though.

Nice!

The guy I take care of, can luckily talk.
I believe he is on Level 80, and is waiting for the expansion. I get sick of watching him play.
I hold his cups, while he plays video games. He is really into this other Warcraft game, right now.

I dunno. Only solution I could think of though.

The programs I run at work, while not a browser, are the same way. Things are labeled by numbers and get jumbled the way you describe. I just sort by title though there.

Your collection sounds much more extensive than mine.

And I thought I had a lot of things bookmarked. I don't have squat compared to you guys, I guess. I have 75 or so things bookmarked, and I just manually move them around, drag and drop. The more I use it, the closer to the top. Less, the bottom. Works for me.

 

[Luissa]

YOu guys actually save porno to you computer?

no, not really. 'twere me trying to make a funny.























I have the URL's memorized.

 

[Luissa]

I figured you guys were.
What is the point of saving them, when there is so many free porn sites now.
