The order of bookmarks

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

How is the order of bookmarks decided? I can't seem to find any logic behind it. It's not alphabetical or chronological, that's for sure. Not a big problem, but my "thread x has new answers", when there's say 30 of them, is a mess. Would be nice to see all the "Worst song on Beatles album X" together there.

Uhm, yeah, I'm aware of that option...

Still wondering about the logic. There has to be some system behind it right? How is it coded?

Might be nice to have some more ways to organize the bookmarks. Into subfolders or something.

OK, I organized them. I organized them by deleting them.

one year passes...

I would still very much like to know how bookmarks wind up in the order they are in. Please? Thanks.

It's done by the time the bookmarked thread was last updated, iirc

That can't be it, because the order doesn't change even if some thread gets updated.

Yeh, I was keeping an eye on them, but it still didn't make sense.

This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.

Just a thought.
