Add additional order by options for bookmarks on the dashboard.

Please expand on your proposal. How would bookmark ordering be specified? Are you asking that the widget itself be extended?

I didn't think I'd need to expand, sorry if I wasn't clear.

I am referencing the bookmarks widget on the dashboard, within which the configuration for it there is an 'Order by' field, the only two options are newest and oldest. I am suggesting that there be a third option called 'Alphabetical' which does what it means... sorts the bookmarks alphabetically.

Unfortunately alphabetical ordering is not feasible as there's no way to reliably and efficiently order by the name of generic related objects. (Not all objects have a name field.)

Understood.

It wouldn't be clean, but still possible by just checking if each object has a name field, if yes add it to an array and sort alphabetically once loop is finished. Then append the non name objects to the end.

It could probably be done in memory on the string representations of each object, given that the list of bookmarks typically shouldn't be very long. I'll open this for any volunteers.
