I used to love Evernote. I'd like to be able to love it again. But this little annoyance is a perfect example of why it is so difficult to love this app. This requested feature (the ability to sort each notebook's notes differently and have Evernote remember each notebook's sort value) is one of the most basic features possible for any note-organizing app that allows you to organize your individual notes into notebooks. It makes sense that different notebooks would be used to collect different kinds of notes. If I have a Contacts notebook, where each note represents one person, it would make sense to sort those notes in that notebook alphabetically. Every time I open that notebook I would want to see those sorted alphabetically. If I have another notebook called Daily Journal, where each note is a record of one day's tasks, events, notes, etc., it would make NO sense for those notes to be sorted alphabetically. It WOULD make sense to sort that notebook's notes in reverse chronological order (newest on top) based on the date each note was created. Every time I open that notebook I would want to see those notes in reverse chronological order, without having to reset the sort order every time I open that notebook. This is BASIC note organization stuff, but it's not part of Evernote's feature set. Looking through this forum's posts, I noticed that this feature has been being requested FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS! Apparently, according to at least one post, the feature was added at one point (YAY!), and then removed in a subsequent update (BOO!). Seriously? I'd like to know if this feature is scheduled to be added back to Evernote. If so, when? If not, why not?
