Sorting Google Chrome Bookmarks

Question

Is there a way to sort Google Chrome bookmarks?

Sort on-save/periodically/on-demand by name/date-added.

According to google bookmarks API https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/bookmarks/ I can possibly add callback to onCreated method, which retrieves all the siblings and rearrange them.

Any help or design tips will be highly appreaciated.

Searching for extensions, browsing chrome extensions API.

I resolved this.

const bm = chrome.bookmarks
type BookmarkTreeNode = chrome.bookmarks.BookmarkTreeNode
type BookmarkDestinationArg = chrome.bookmarks.BookmarkDestinationArg

bm.onCreated.addListener((id: string, bookmark: BookmarkTreeNode ) => {
    let parent = bookmark.parentId!;
    bm.getChildren(parent, (siblings: BookmarkTreeNode[]) => {
        siblings.sort((a, b) => a.title.localeCompare(b.title))
        siblings.forEach((sibling, index) => sibling.index = index)
        siblings.forEach(({ id, index}) => {
            bm.move(id, {
                parentId: parent,
                index: index,
            })
        })
    })
})
