This has been bugging me for months and would like to see this fixed in the next update.

When adding a new bookmark the drop down list of all your folders is in a randomized order. I like to have many folders to organize my bookmarks and having to scroll the entire list reading very carefully so I can find the correct folder is very frustrating.

This should be an easy fix as many other things in the game are sorted alphabetically, and I cannot figure out the mechanic on how the bookmarks are sorted. To me, it seems that the folders are placed in a random order. Please fix this.

Here is a screenshot of what I mean.

Can I also ask for sane way for exchanging your bookmarks? Thats good you can transform it in the game item, but there has to be a way to easly share it through chat or mail also. When in deep null/wormhole space you must uncloak just to make an bookmark item and jettison it for your friend/alt, that can easly drive one mad.

I myself would like nested folders, or sorting by jump would be nice as well, better than alphabetizing, imho

I agree that would be a nice feature, but let's not get bogged down with big projects prior to Odyssey 1.1.

Like the title suggests, simply alphabetizing the bookmarks when adding a new bookmark is a very reasonable request. It's a realistic goal a Dev can seek for the Odyssey 1.1 update.

Anyone else have any comments?

And/or a search function would be doubly as good.

I thought bookmark folders are sorted alphabetically.

Yes they are, but when you click "Add Location" the list of folders that drops down is not alphabetically bookmarked.

I have about 250 folders and when they aren't organized it's a complete PITA to find the correct folder.
