+Last week I released a [browser extension][] for [Firefox][] which sorts
+entries in [Daily Kos][] live update articles in chronological order and
+adds a sort toolbar.
+
+[Install Firefox Add-On][addon], [Git Repository][dk-sort]
+
+[{{< pe-figure "dk-sort" >}}][dk-sort]
+
+**Background:** Several months ago I created a [bookmarklet][]
+(available [here][dk-sort-bookmarklet]) which sorts entries in [Daily
+Kos][] live update articles from oldest to newest.  Unfortunately the
+[bookmarklet][] was difficult for people to use because:
+
+- Installation required copying minified [JavaScript][] into a text
+  field, and
+- You had to click the [bookmarklet][] after loading a live
+  update article in order to activate it
+
+To address these problems, I converted the [bookmarklet][] into a
+[browser extension][].  I also added a couple of features during the
+convdrsion.
+
+**Note:** The extension isn't [Firefox][]-specific, but it's unlikely I
+will port it to [Chrome][] because [I recommend people ditch
+Chrome][ditch-chrome].
