Thank you. Although I do have a MacBook, I mostly use my iPad and iPhone with Evernote. Consequently, I hadn't realised it was possible to change the dates in the desktop version. I've just done that for one notebook, and now it gives me exactly what I wanted in terms of a view sorted by original date. I can chip away at this over time to one-time correct other notebooks. I'm sure I'll try the other tips for other purposes too at some point. Thanks again for the helpful reply!

I also would like the ability to overwrite the created date, or the ability to update a new "custom date" which might default to the created date. I have loaded several hundred old documents / letters etc. into Evernote, and would like to be able to sort the notes within each notebook by their true date rather than the date I loaded them. I'd prefer not to cannibalize the subject as a workaround.
