(Archived) sort by tag no longer available (GTD system)

[rhaynes74 2]

Hi folks, with the 5.1 update on the mac it does not seem possible to sort notes by tag as per the GTD system, I used tags 1-now, 2-next, 3-soon etc and used to be able to sort by tag to have a running to do list.

Is there a new way to accomplish the same thing without having to search for tags?

 

Best,

RH

Even though the list view has changed you can still view and sort by tags. 

 

Go to list view. 

Right click on one of the column headings and make sure tags is turned on.

Now you should be able to tap the tags heading to sort, tap again to change the sort order.

 

Note you may have to shrink the note view by dragging the bar between the note view and the list entries in order to make room for all your columns to show.

But the new list view   is still totally limiting to those of us who liked it the old way. At best you can hardly see 2 tags. I do believe it's called a "List View" for a reason.  It sure would be nice to have our old, glorious, list view back.

Update to Evernote Mac 5.1.4 - the old list view is back, it is now called Top List View.
