I have been trying to orgainise my Safari bookmarks using the 'Show all Bookmarks' . I have some bookmarks things in folders. I also want everything to be alphabeticised. When i , say, drag an individual bookmark below (or i think also above) a folder, the folder automatically opens up and gobbles the bookmark into that folder. This is making organizing my bookmarks a hard task. Is their and easier way, or do i just need to deal with it? Thanks ;)

I don't know if there's an easier way, but I think I figured out how to get around it. If the line below the folder is shifted to the right by about a quarter-inch, it will go inside the folder. But you can slide your mouse to the bottom of the list of files in the folder, and then just a touch to the left. The line will also move to the left (lined up with all all the other bookmarks that aren't in the folder), and now the file won't go inside the folder, it will appear below it.
