How to Sort and Remove Safari Reading List?

When you want to save webpages to read later in Safari, adding them to your Reading List is a convenient option. You can access the Reading List even when your computer is not connected to the internet. It's important to note that Safari Reading List is different from Safari bookmarks, as bookmarks are reserved for valuable or frequently visited webpages. As your Reading List grows with more sites, it can become cluttered. In this article, we will discuss how to sort and remove items from the Safari Reading List.

Safari provides the ability to sort bookmarks by name or address in its Edit Bookmarks feature, but there is no way to sort reading lists. To sort Safari reading lists, we need to use One Bookmark, a third-party application that supports sorting Safari bookmarks and reading lists. Download and install One Bookmark app on your Mac.
