How to create a custom notes list

Recommended Posts

Hello

How can I change the order of each note?

All I can see is the options to sort by Title, Date created and Date updated

I should be able to drag each note up and down in the order of my pleasing. 

How can this be done?

Thanks

That's not possible within the standard Evernote window,  but you could create a Table of Contents note which lists links to each note as a sort of index.  The links can be re-ordered within the note.

@gazumpedsolution of a table of contents is definitely the way to go. Just a bit more detail as you won't find the term "table of contents" anywhere in V10.

  • Select the notes you want to include
  • Copy the internal links by right clicking a selected note in the list or using the three dots in the blue multi-select menu
  • Create a new note and start a numbered list (or bulleted if you prefer)
  • Paste in the links
  • You can reorder them by dragging and dropping the links around the list and it will automatically renumber
  • If you want to add more items in the future just repeat the process but paste into your existing list

There are other solutions, like changing the creation date but they are all a bit hacky and the V10 incarnation of the table of contents is really flexible.
