Default Task Note - Pin to top of list missing

[chromatic828 2]

On latest version of desktop has anyone found  a way to "Pin" default Task note to top of tasks list?

This used to be possible for as long as I could remember until last month or so. And on mobile you can still pin the note to top of list.

Feels like an oversight....

I haven't. The sorting options are only for the underlying tasks - notes always appear in alphabetical order. Therefore you should be able to put some character at the beginning of the note name to ensure it is at the top of the list. An emoji looks nice.

... And since you can search and filter by a single emoji,  it's a handy way to list all tasks of a certain type - I'm using "categories" like these

💷 - budget | ⚒️ - project | ⚕️- medical | 📚 - books | 🖥️ - computer

(The icons are just what I can get easily from the Windows keyboard)

I also wonder why this was removed. Is it a bug? Is it on purpose - why? These spooners seem to have some twisted goal to disrupt everybody's workflows in every way they can. But why?

I can only imagine that this function has maybe been removed in preparation for the function to pin one or more notes to the top of a notebook, which has been teased on twitter a month ago.

Maybe this specific function for the task note has conflicted with the new more universal implementation.

Just my guess.

The problem with using emojis in note titles is that Evernote sorts them in different ways, depending on if it's a notebook or a stack.

I changed my standard task note title to ! todo - now it's back on the top again. No big deal, of course - but these constant random changes and needing to find new workarounds all the time is sooooo disturbing and annoyoing 😡

Thank you all for the suggestions, I also use some star system to order notebooks, had not considered emoji tho!

It's not a big deal, but find it curious that the options still exists on mobile, but not desktop. feels like an oversight...and for someone who uses Evernote daily for years was more annoying than I realized!
