MANUAL SORT

[Slow Learner 0]

It's not like this feature hasn't been requested a zillion times in the forums. It has to be the most basic of all features in a note-taking app, right?

What is taking the Evernote team so long to respond to a simple, basic request for years?

Sort order based on date created, date updated, or title heralds back to the days of WordStar, DOS, etc... Simple drag and drop of notes in a notebook in all OS's needs to happen, or keep on losing users.

Your user name it really speaking for yourself: Why do you think you can’t sort by title, creation or updated date ?

There are plenty of hacks to get a manual sort but a much better solution is to use a table of contents in a master note. V10 makes it very easy to manually sort a numbered list of note links.

We have work arounds but personally I think a manual sort option would be useful.  I would also like to see true note pinning.  Updating the UI is supposedly on their list.  I hope they consider these as well as a few others.

I think the UI will tweak how things look rather than what you can do.  So if anything arrives it seems that it may only go a short way down the operations that will be improved.

I’ll consider it a start 🙂.

Bump for sorting text in note?

[agsteele 3,061]

Please don't bump. It's against the forum code of conduct. Why not explain what you need and how it would improve your way of working?

[SteveHolle 2]

Sorry. The feature I'm interested in is sorting lists in alphabetical order. I reviewed forum listings and this seems to be a feature with a long request history. I thought expressing my interest in this thread made more sense than starting a new thread. 

Is it my use of the word "bump“ that is the problem? I did mention sorting lists. It would help finding items in long lists

I was encouraging you to explain why you supported the feature. What benefits would it bring to you? 

Thanks for adding to your short first try

I think you are talking about a list of text inside a note? I think this thread is for manually sorting a list of notes in a notebook -- so that you can manually rearrange the way the order that the notes appear in the notebook.

Even though the thread that I've linked below is older, it does have recent comments and is more inline with what I think you are wanting:
