Some iPhone and Mac users reported issues with Safari bookmarks after syncing from iCloud bookmarks. Some bookmarks are then created twice and three times and the order is messed up. How to fix this issue? If you are experiencing the same and similar issues, the following solutions can help.
1. Turn off Mac iCloud Bookmarks and turn it back on
Quit Safari. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences. If you're using macOS Catalina and later, click Apple ID. Click iCloud. Deselect Safari. And then close System Preferences and wait about a minute. Open System Preferences and click iCloud. Select Safari.
2. Check If a bookmark folder contains more than 500 bookmarks
According to Apple's official documentation, the maximum number of bookmarks in a single bookmarks folder is 500. If your bookmarks don't display in the same order across all of your devices, check how many bookmarks are in the folder. If the folder contains more than 500 bookmarks, the order of bookmarks might not be the same on all devices.
3. Resort all Safari bookmarks and bookmark folders
Safari does not support sorting all bookmarks, it only provides sorting for individual bookmark folders. Here we recommend using One Bookmarks to sort all Safari bookmarks and bookmark folders. Download and install One Bookmark application on your Mac. Run One Bookmark application, and then click Manage Safari Bookmarks mode.
It will list all Safari bookmarks and bookmark folders, then you can sort all bookmarks and bookmark folders, or just select bookmarks and bookmark folders to sort. Click the Sort Bookmarks by button and choose the sorting option you want. And then click the Apply Change button to save.
4. Remove duplicate Safari bookmarks
Next we need to clean up those duplicate bookmarks that were recreated two or three times. Run One Bookmark application, and then access Manage Safari Bookmarks mode. Click Manage bookmarks button, and choose Find the duplicate bookmark menu item.
Click Auto Select button to keep one bookmark and select other bookmarks, or manually select duplicate bookmarks to remove, then click Remove selected bookmarks button to delete them. And then click the Apply Change button to save.
Run the Safari app again and all bookmarks and bookmark folders will remain in order, all duplicate bookmarks have been removed.
