a2c 0 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Can notes in a notebook override the date ordering and be alphabetized instead? Sorting by this method would be very much appreciated... Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted March 4, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 4, 2013 You didn't mention which Evernote client you are using, but most clients that I know of can sort on note titles as well as dates. Certainly the Windows, Mac and Android clients can anyways. Regardless, you should understand that this is not a notebook-specific setting, it applies to notes that are shown according to whatever search filter you have operating, whether it's by tag, notebook, date, or some other criterion.

Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted March 4, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think that the default differs by Evernote client. The Windows client keeps whatever setting I was using before. You can sort any selection of notes, whatever appears in the note list (and what appears in the note list is always a filter of some sort, possibly no filter, which means "all notes"), regardless of whether it was obtained by selecting a notebook, a tag, or other criteria.

a2c 0 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 This link http://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#/article/23192143 (see Mac section) indicates that the date-ordered default setting on my Mac can be changed by clicking on "Notes by Date Created" & selecting "Title." However, I haven't yet been able to locate "Notes by Date Created" in order to switch to "Title." Where is this to be found? Is it a Premium-only feature? Thanks... Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted March 4, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 4, 2013 I can't help you with your Mac, as I am a Windows user. It would not be a premium feature. I'll mark this as a Mac question, and maybe someone who is more familiar with the Mac UI will pick up on it. Link to comment
oef 0 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Copy your Evernote content that you want to alphabetize; open a Word document, paste, sort by alpha, re-copy, return to Evernote and paste. Link to comment

It won't not work for sorting notes within a notebook, which is the actual question here. Link to comment
Granola 0 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 At the top of the screen, go to "View. In the drop down window there is an option to select "Sort by . . . ". Where I placed the ". . . " it will say something like date created, date updated, title. You pick how you want it sorted. Link to comment
