Safari: moving bookmark folders in bookmarks bar...duh?
when i use Safari
i create bookmark folders
and place them in the bookmarks bar.
thats just the way i've always organized research.
when i try to reorder the bookmark folders
i choose "show all bookmarks"
and i try to drag the folders up and down.
but the folders
very often end up nesting
in other folders
as they are popped open
by the dragging of the moved folder over them.
it makes dragging and dropping very tedious.
there doesn't seem to be
any control over this in preferences.
?hmph?

Since your concern is with the Bookmarks Bar, though, just drag the folders in the Bar itself.
reg
"Show All Bookmarks"
there are 2 main fields;
"Collections" & "Bookmark" {+ its associated address}.
there is a brushed metal bar between the 2 fields.
if you keep the cursor over the brushed metal bar area while dragging folders
you can order them without opening other folders and accidentally nesting.
incidentally,
holding down the "Command/Apple" key while dragging in the "Bookmark" field
COPIES the folder to a new location.
