halriko544 9 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Hi, I read my notes by "created" from older to newer. In Windows I can do it. But in Android I can not find this option? Is there a way?
Evernote Expert gazumped 12,631 Posted April 30, 2017 Evernote Expert Posted April 30, 2017 Hi. I don't believe that's currently possible in Android. Notes sort in descending order, so newest first. You could sort by title and use a numbering system to 'force' the order of the notes into oldest first...?
halriko544 9 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Posted April 30, 2017 Hi, I have no controle of the notes. Apps like Feedly create automaticaly notes in Evernote. To read the notes it is better to read the oldest first. I hope there will come an update. In Evernote Windows I store for each directory/notebook the individial settings. If android would taken this settings by syncing, then I would not have a reason to sort manually.
danyell 1 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 +1 for regular-chronological sort. This should be relatively easy to implement and frankly it's a must-have. I bought a tablet specifically to catch up on reading, and "catching up" => "oldest first." I can't imagine halriko544 and I are the only 2 who need this.
Evernote Expert gazumped 12,631 Posted January 16, 2018 Evernote Expert Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks for comments here, but the way to influence Evernote to take a bit of notice is to click the counter at the top left of the page. It's still standing at 1 today....
Alxa 514 Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 I just switched to Evernote. I am quite shocked, that such a simple thing is ignored by the evernote team. It would really be the easiest to sync the sort settings from desktop. Or even simpler: give us the opportunity to sort also in reverse order. Come on, it is just a simple addition in menu!
BPZ 0 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Would strongly desire a reverse sorting option. a simple additional menu option of sorting "A to Z" or "Z to A" would help. I organize my notes by date (yyyy-mm-dd). After years of notes, my newest notes are buried behind years of work. No, a simple "-" in front of the title does not solve the problem. It only adds to my workflow as I would have to constantly curate my titles only for the advantage of seeing one "new" note.

Steve Almond 1 Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Bump. If sort asc and sort desc take up too much room, I'd be happy to click-again to reverse the sort order. Or just change the default to oldest-first. Is newest first really that popular?

It makes some sense, since you might be more likely to edit a recently added or changed note than one added last year... Please don't bump threads, it's not technically against the Forum T&Cs, but we can always ask to get that changed if necessary - and it adds nothing to the discussion since Evernote is driven by lots of feedback from various sources including the voting threads around here - but 11 votes (currently) is not going to make a great case. Meantime Evernote are (allegedly) already working on revised apps for all their supported OS's (and maybe even Linux) so the update might be in the pipeline somewhere. Also meantime the three dots menu on Android allows you to sort your notes by updated date, created date, title, and size in two taps - and you can always save a shortcut direct to an old note to your home screen if quick access is required...

Hi,
