Box Web Sort (NAME and UPDATED) should INCLUDE Bookmarks
Currently, sorting the content of a Box folder sorts the content for all but Bookmarks, then shows sorted Bookmarks below the other content - this happens for Sort by NAME and Sort by UPDATED.
Users might reasonably expect that subfolders might be sorted first, and all other documents and bookmarks be sorted secondly - similarly to Windows File Explorer (which does this, where shortcuts are treated as documents and sorted along with other documents)
I believe the reason that this may be happening is that [Mssrs Box] has omitted to record any modification made to bookmarks (yes, the name of a bookmark can be amended, therefore that modified date should be recorded in the bookmark's details/properties)
It should therefore be either a) possible to have a user-level setting that enables any sorts to include all document types (including/excluding selectable filetypes), or b) Box records the modified date for bookmarks, and then allows the Sort by NAME and Sort by UPDATED to treat all filetypes the same and give 'one' result

I am having a similar issue where I am trying to arrange a collection of folders and files in a particular order by numbering them 01 ***, 02xxx, 03xxx, and so on. If it is ALL files or ALL folders it works great. But if it's a collection of both folders and files, it always puts the folders at the top of the list so that I end up with 03 *** folder, 05 *** folder, 01xxx file, 02xxx file, 04xxx file, and so on. Clearly I want 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, etc. regardless of whether it is a file or folder.
