Comment 6 for bug 725460

I have a similar problem, where the bookmarks are sorted in reverse alphabetical order in the Bookmarks menu, but are OK (i.e. alphabetically sorted) in the left pane (F9). I've noticed that midori adds an unicode character (202a IIRC) before the title, so imported bookmarks that lack this character may destroy the alphabetical ordering (straight or reverse).
There is a workaround for this problem, i.e. change "title DESC" into "title ASC" in midori/midori-array.c. With this the bookmarks are sorted in straight alphabetical order in the Bookmarks menu, but are in reverse order in the left pane.
This problem is still present in midori 0.4.7.
