Sync ordering of chrome applications across devices - enhancement

This may be a little bit "dirty" of a way to do this, but chrome bookmarks have an order that is preserved across devices and can be read by extensions. To preserve the order of the chrome apps across computers you could create a bookmark folder and create bookmarks with app names to "save" the order as each bookmark will stay in it's place on the list, as well as corresponding to a certain tile space. for example, The first in goes in the upper leftmost corner, the fourth one (in a 4x5 grid) goes in the upper right corner, the 17th one would go in the lower left corner, etc. Just filling out the page from left to right, top to bottom. You could even make the bookmark folder user selectable for convenience / different setups and the user could put in bookmarks to display as apps as well.

Do you mean reordering the apps and moving the apps into other "pages" in this extension? Or read and sync the apps order in chrome://apps page? Or sync the order among different devices with this extension installed? Apps ordering will be supported in this extension but the order will not sync with chrome://apps page due to lack of features. Also, a chrome developer mentioned that chrome://apps page might be removed in the coming months.

No, I mean using a bookmarks folder as a means to store and sync app organisation between computers. Does that make sense? If not, just ignore this. Good work on this awesome extension by the way.

There are existing APIs to sync the settings on all signed in computers, which could be better than writing to the bookmarks folder. This extension currently does not require bookmarks permission either. Thanks.
