This is probably a redundant question, but the Firefox for Android Update 79.02 seriously screwed up my bookmarks, (worse than they already were.)

Now all my Firefox for Android Bookmarks look as though they've been totally randomized like a thoroughly shuffled a deck of playing cards. All the folders are rearranged in a different order and the standalone bookmarks; the ones not assigned to a custom folder, the ones that FF v.68 listed AFTER all of my custom created folders are totally FUBAR. In Firefox v.68 just keeping the custom bookmark folders separate from the standalone bookmarks was a big deal. Now that's gone and finding a single bookmark in this convoluted mess is an exercise in futility. A few days ago, I wasted several hours, first figuring out how to actually do the editing procedure, in FF v.79.02, then going through the rote repetitive motions of manually creating custom folders for EACH of my standalone bookmarks, moving each bookmark into the new folder, and verifying the changes took.

I finally got getting everything looking and working well, only to learn just today, that my efforts were all for naught. Everything I did to clean up my bookmarks and make them easier to use, was automatically and thoroughly undone by Firefox v.79.02 a few days later. My custom folders are rearranged, and the standalone bookmarks are once again randomly mixed in with them. Adding insult to injury; it's happened to both of my Android devices.

How does Firefox v.80 for Android auto arrange my bookmarks? Is there ANY current ability to quickly change how FF v.80 bookmarks are listed? For instance, if the latest FF for Android bookmarks are currently listed by the date each was originally created, can that view be changed so that instead of using the date created, I could switch to sorting in alphabetical order?
