As you will know, the HTC Bookmark Widget sorts bookmarks by creation date only. Not what I wanted..
I just found out that if you use Bookmark Manager (app available in Market) to rearrange your bookmarks, the HTC Bookmark Widget will show this new order!
Bookmark Manager can also sort alphabetically, will show correctly in Bookmark Widget too.
And: if you set the sort order of the browser's bookmarks (Browser -> Menu -> Bookmarks -> Sort order) to 'newest', this list too will show the sort order as set by Bookmark Manager.
So: great app (free and donate versions available)!
Cheers, Marc
I put in "Bookmarks Manager" to the search on the market but it did not come up with anything. Do you know if it goes by a different name? Not being able to change the order of the bookmarks widget is so annoying!
As a side note I hate the way the market is set up. Terrible.

There is definitely a way to show only Google contacts, but I believe you need to select Groups in order to do that. Groups, then Google.
I know, the Contacts program leaves a lot to be desired.
Its easy to filter the contacts.
Quickest:-
Load Contacts, click the menu button and then select Display Options and unselect the sources you don't want.
Longer way-
Link you contacts so it only shows them once.

And best way as lamatrast wrote, in setting you can select 1. Phone 2. Sim card 3. or google account.
The root cause of the problem is that the Samsung Contacts app, which the manufacturer installed as a substitute for the stock Android Contacts app, is screwed up. (Search the Galaxy S forums for "contacts" and find many similar complaints.)
Users new to Android may not notice, but veteran Android/Gmail users do. Samsung tried to do-Google-ize contacts on the Android and invent their own design paradigm derived from dumb feature phones, and just made an unholy mess. The app does not respect the grouping of Gmail contacts when it syncs.
The Samsung app cannot be uninstalled, but you can try to use a third-party contacts app in lieu of it as your interface. I use Contacts Evolved. It's a little buggy, but better than the Samsung app that completely fails in this regard.
What's your experience with Samsungs contact app?
On my phone it Lags. Sometimes the contact list is completely empty but it shows the counter which says. Displaying 383 connects in custom view.
I also want the contact app to only display my custom account list. Useless to display Facebook people or sine other accounts in my phonebook.
Every time I exit the app and reopen it.it shows me "all contacts" again instead of my custom list.
If a contact us linked with another account scrolling the contact detail view itself gets stuck.
What it's your experience?

Does anyone know if there is a way to add the filtering options to the contacts app instead of just the contacts in the dialler area?
Samsung seem to have removed the "display only contacts with phone numbers" from the contacts app... which means when I sync the phone with my google account, it syncs ALL my gmail contacts down as well.
So my contacts app is flooded with hundreds of contacts with random names and email addresses from Gmail that I rarely use, and it takes me ages to navigate through to find the contact I want to call or message. In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor annoyance really... but it's something i really hate about this phone now and it makes me dread opening the contacts app.
Just wondering if it's an option I've missed somewhere or if anyone knows a workaround for it?
Unfortunately there is no other option than installing and using another contacts+dialer app from the Google Play store...
that what i thought... damn, i hate using third party contacts / dialler options
hopefully some helpful developer will add the option to a custom rom so i can actually look at my contacts app without dread lol
My S7E has the option to only show contacts with numbers. Maybe your carrier removed it for some reason? Can't see why though?
In the phone app, go to More > Settings > and there's an option near the top for only contacts with numbers.
AFAIK that option is available only in the phone dialer screen, not in the contact list settings, but maybe once selected in the dialer settings it's also working for the contact list.
I'm using a third party contacts+dialer app so I can't test myself.
Ahhh, sorry, I misread the OP. You're right, it's only for the dialler contacts list, not the Contacts app itself.
You can choose a customised list, where you can select what users you want to see. That might be good enough?
Reminders are non syncing properly in app and widget on Android (ok on wev).
Here's my scenario, tested on a phone and a tablet.
Add reminder in app: it shows on Web but not on app and not on widget.
Force sync in app: still nothing on app and nothing on widget.
Add normal event in app: even is added on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder now shows up also on app and on widget.
Delete reminder in app: reminder is deleted from Web but not from app and not from widget.
Delete event in app: event is deleted on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder is also deleted from app and from widget
It seems the problem is a display problem.
For example, if I modify a reminder on app, the changes appear on Web but not on app, still if I click the reminder in app it is opened with the changes made.
Also, if I delete a reminder from app, it is deleted from Web but not from app, yet if I click the reminder on app I get an error "reminder not found. As a proof: if I set a reminder it does not show in app but I get a notification when time comes!!!!!!!
I am having the same problem on Tab S2 8"
On the calendar forum someone us suggesting it's only a Samsung problem.
Anyone else?
Thanks
Please can someone try?
Google keeps on telling it's a Samsung problem.

Is there someone willing to try please?
I'm not asking too much, just try and see if you have the same problem as myself.
5 minutes...
Thanks
Try deleting the apps data and cache in settings. Do the same to google framework
