Anyone know how to determine the sort order for the stock bookmarks widget? Seems to be random instead of alphabetical, which is a PITA. My bookmarks are alphabetical in the browser, so I dunno if there's a setting elsewhere to make it the same on the widget.

Does anyone know if there's an internet browser widget that has a transparent/naked skin?
I'm hoping for a widget that's similar to HTC browser widget except I wish it has no borders and just have the scrollable bookmarks.
Has anyone tried installing the scrolling bookmarks widget from honeycomb? wondering if i could just pull it from the rom and use it on my N1 but im not sure if its compatible. i love that little widget.
Is there a widget that allows me to use a web age of my choosing and the ability to select links within that page?
The default launcher let you make a bookmark widget, unfortunately it's all your bookmarks and not individual.
I use ADW EX Launcher and it let me set individual bookmark on the home screen
Yeah I use ADW and have a page of bookmarks. I just wanted afull page widget of a web page.
I would also like to do this. I haven't yet got into ADW or LP, but on the desktop, for Chrome this is as simple as launching it with the command line:
-app=<URL>
I have no idea if Chrome on Honeycomb even supports instances, let alone commandline parameters.
As you already know, the Sense Bookmarks Widget only arranges the bookmarks as you add them. If you would like to arrange your bookmarks alphabetically in the widget, there are couple apps I found that work well.

I've used APW Widgets for the past year. For the most part the widgets are straight-forward and easy to customize. I use the APW widgets for bookmarks, calendar, contacts, Facebook and Twitter. Most of them work fine. Nothing fancy, just basic functionality.
As has been well-documented on the APW Play Store page, though, several times Google has updated Chrome in a way that "breaks" APW bookmark widget for Chrome. Before the Chrome update -- Chrome bookmarks appear as either thumbnails or a list in the APW widget. They are properly sorted and easy to search. After the Chrome update -- blank. No widgets for Chrome. This has happened at least twice that I know of, including right now.
This is inconvenient but hey, I'll just use a different widget for Chrome bookmarks. Not so fast. ASAIK there ISN'T one, or at least there isn't a good one. Google's bookmark widget for Chrome is shockingly bad. Ugly, inconsistent, poorly conceived. Every other Chrome bookmarks widget I've found is either ridiculously labor-intensive (add each bookmark manually!) or so poorly designed as to make them non-functional (such as pulling all of your Chrome bookmarks out of folders and making one long unsorted list of hundreds of bookmarks).
Ideally the APW widget dev would update his stuff. If not that then surely there must be ONE decent bookmark app for Chrome bookmarks. Just give me the ability to place a widget on a screen, resize it as I see fit, give me the ability to sync with my main Chrome bookmarks and show them sorted the way they are. Seems crazy that this is so hard to find.
