keditbookmarks: sort alphabetically does not work

[Alvin]

Bookmark Editor 4.1.4 and 4.2.0 (Ubuntu 8.10)

Selecting a bookmark folder and Folder --> Sort Alphabetically will not sort the complete list of bookmarks in that folder.
- Only 1 bookmark is moved every time.
- Separators will be sorted too and are therefore always moved to the beginning of a folder.

Seems to work fine here. If you run keditbookmarks from the console does it give any output when you sort alphabetically? Does this happen with new folders or only with existing ones?

[Alvin (alvind)]

The output after each sort is:
keditbookmarks(14691) KBookmarkManager::notifyChanged:
KBookmarkManager::notifyChanged ( "/0/0/1/0" )

This happens on every folder I sort. Let me be more specific:
On each sort, starting from the top, the first bookmark that is not in the
correct place is moved. After this, the sorting stops.
If you keep pressing 'sort alphabetically', eventually all bookmarks will be
sorted correctly.

Recursive Sort will sort 1 bookmark in each folder.
Unfortunately, separators also get sorted, and therefore, they are moved to
the beginning of a folder.

Just a quick note. This isn't fixed yet in KDE 4.1.3 and 4.2 rc1, so I'm changing the description.

I found a bug at bugs.kde.org that seemed to accurately describe the situation: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166059

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this feature request! Unfortunately, at this time Kubuntu does not have the developer manpower needed to implement and maintain many features at the Kubuntu level. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166059
Once implemented in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the feature is implemented in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
