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].
