Bookmark Episode Sort doesn't sort by Timestamp
Description
When sorting bookmarks on the Podcast page by "Episode", I expect the bookmarks from a single Episode to be sorted by the Timestamp within that Episode. This is not the case, they get sorted by creation date.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions
- Create multiple bookmarks within single Episode, preferably creating ones later in the Episode first.
- Go to Podcast page
- Go to Bookmarks tab
- Sort by "Episode"
- Notice that bookmark within a single episode get sorted by creation time, not Timestamp within Episode

Can confirm. iOS handles it this way, and it makes sense to sort it this way.
I don't know whether this is planned, but I personally would also like the option to both sort by "Episodes oldest to newest" and "Episodes newest to oldest". Not sure about the naming of those though.
From my testing today while working on syncing this doesn't have 100% reproduction rate. It can happen that the app will get into a state where Episode sorting doesn't account for the timestamp.

Huh, you're right. Just tested again and when opening the app it was sorting it by the creation date, but after changing it from and then to 'Episodes', it started sorting correctly.
Another issue though I've been having with bookmarks, is that the timestamps don't always line up correctly with the bookmarks after changing the sorting. Not sure whether I should open another issue in this.
