Search result won't sort by Tags


Recommended Posts

I search for notes, and I then try to sort the returned set of notes by clicking on the column headers. This works for the Title and Updated column headers, allowing me to sort both ascending and descending by values in these columns. But when I click the Tags column header, nothing happens. 

Expected behavior: Clicking the Search result Tags column header sort notes by values in Tags.
Actual behavior: Clicking the Search result Tags column header has no effect. 

The same goes for using the Sort option button. The resulting drop down lets me sort by Relevance, Title, Date updated or Date created. There is no Tags option presented.

I have just returned to Evernote (from a few years being forced to use OneNote by company policy).

My Evernote workflow is inspired by the GTD SW manifesto, and it calls for tagging notes with numbers for time priority (1-Now, 2-Next, 3-Soon etc.)
Then by sorting your notes by Tags, you get all your filtered out notes sorted by time priority, with the most urgent to manage notes on top.

Is the inability to sort by Tags just a bug, or is the feature removed deliberately?
Having this feature is essential to my Evernote workflow and missing it would probably make me ditch Evernote for something else.

Thi has been raised many times before. e.g. 

I suggest you add your  vote to as many of the posts as you can find, but more importantly use the feedback function (help -> share feedback) to inform EN directly as to why you need the functionaility.
