Sorting isn't always based on numerical order. See, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collation. Note that Evernote sorts tags in a case insensitive order ('a' and 'A' sort to the same slot, even though they have different numerical values). Note also that Evernote uses UTF, not ASCII. You may need to use trial-and-error to determine the special character that you seek, unless someone here has already solved it (I haven't).

I'll add a caution that sorting of special (i.e., non-alphanumeric) may vary by Evernote platform.

Tag + shortcut: this is a canonical Evernote technique; simple and effective. Tags can cut across notebooks, so notes need not be moved around.

If you absolutely need this, then the best way around it is to have a second account on your space-limited machine, and share notebooks from your full account to the other account. It's not a perfect solution, but it does have the effect of giving you control over which notebooks appear on that machine. The Demand Sync is new in the latest Windows beta, I don't have any feel as to how well that works, but it might be worth a try.

Evernote can export to HTML just fine. Microsoft Word can read HTML documents just fine.

I've always felt that this behavior is pretty funky. It's not fatal for my use case, though (I share between a personal and a work account", but it is occasionally annoying, and I never figured out the rationale behind it. So I have some duplicate tags in the various tag lists; fortunately, a search for a particular tag will pick up notes that have that tag in both accounts, which is what I want anyhow. If you think it's a design flaw, then you should make a feature request in one of the forums dedicated to such (there's one in the main forum, and one for each individual Evernote client OS). Tags are certainly useful across different notebooks in a single account, if that's the context you referring to. Tags are unique inside an Evernote account, period. Since you can't prevent different accounts from having the same tag names, uniqueness across an account and any notebooks shared to it cannot possibly be enforced. You cannot tag a notebook; you can only tag notes in a notebook. When you attempt to tag a note that's in a notebook that's shared to you, you may only choose from the set of tags that the notes in the notebook contains. Otherwise, the tag will be rejected, since you cannot add tags to someone else's notebook.

The response (based on my ~8 years of forum participation) would likely be something like: "Thanks for the suggestion. We read all posts, though we don't respond to all of them, and feature requests are evaluated for addition into Evernote's products. We do not usually comment on or release plans for future feature inclusion". Or, as it says at the top of the forum: I see 0 votes for this feature currently. You should add yours.

As a point of practicality, sorting 500 to-dos is a fool's game. Don't do it. You cannot do 500 things at once, so focus on the top few; the rest don't matter. Grade them into several buckets, e.g.: critical, high, medium, low, using tags, and then attack the critical ones. By the time you're done with those, you may have more todos, or the remaining todos may have changed priority, so reload from the next highest bucket, and repeat. Spend your time doing things, not calculating priorities.

Moved to iOS Product Feedback subforum...

And you're expecting exactly what from the Evernote Twitter feed?

This puzzles me. Round-tripping to me means that I can start a note in Marxico, edit in Evernote, and be able to continue in Marxico again and be able to pick up in Evernote, all without losing content. According to the Marxico site: If this is true, then round-tripping is not supported by Marxico. Once you add content to Evernote using Marxico, you need to always then use Marxico to edit that content. Which is swell, except that I edit notes on my mobile devices as well.

As far as I can tell, Marxico doesn't really support round-tripping MarkDown <--> Evernote. Once it's in Evernote, and you make changes there, then getting Markdown back can be problematic, since Evernote can use pretty full HTML. If it works for you, then that's great (or or if I'm not understanding their web site then please correct me), but let's be careful about turning this into something that it's not.

Maybe, but that's not what the original poster asked for as far as I can tell, nor what I replied to.

Moving to feature request subforum. Vote, people!

Again -- two concurrent devices: you can log out of Windows clients pretty easily.

?? Let me get this straight -- you stopped paying and reverted to basic, and found out about the two concurrent device limit. So out of spite, you've decided to stop paying? But wait, you already stopped paying. Ooookayyy...

Searching the forum for "selective sync" turns up a number of feature requests, including Windows client specific requests. Why not add your vote where appropriate rather than creating brand new feature requests for the same thing?

Whitespace characters include actual space characters (' '), tab characters, carriage returns and line feeds. Yes, it needs to do so that lines are preserved. In HTML, line feeds or carriage returns don't count as end-of-line markers; you need to add markup to denote lines. That's what the <div>...</div> stuff is doing. Here's some excruciating detail on that: https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html. It may be that the conversion adds extra space characters into the <div></div>, but I haven't looked all that deeply into it.To do actual indentation, you need more markup, which evidently doesn't occur.

Moving to a Mac forum...

OK, so I took a text file that uses tab characters (in C or C++, '\t') for indentation. Selected and copied a section, and pasted it into a new note in the Evernote Web client. Synced this, and in the Evernote Windows client, exported it to an Evernote format file (.ENEX). I noted that each line is enclosed by a <div>...</div> HTML markup pair (occasionally there would be a <br /> break markup tag, to denote a blank line). Also I noted that tab characters were preserved. However, as noted before, tab characters have no meaning in HTML except as whitespace; indentation would be accomplished using some other method (appears to be <div style="margin-left:80px;"></div> markup, at least that's how the Windows program does it).

Depending on how the paste goes from the clipboard into Evernote web, indentation may not be preserved because in HTML (more or less Evernote's internal format), tabs and spaces aren't particularly meaningful. If there were some internal translation on paste, then it could recognize the indentation and apply the appropriate HTML markup, but if it goes straight in, indentation would indeed be lost. I'm guessing that it's the latter case.

What is the original application (where you pasted from)? Is it a text editor?

I can't add votes -- I'm just a forum user like you, though with some minor moderation abilities (like the ability to move posts to more appropriate subforums)

No, it does not work this way. If you create a tag, it sticks around until you explicitly delete it.

This is the takeaway, as far as I'm concerned. That may change with the new leadership team, but when I look at Evernote, I see a lot of similarities with GMail (in terms of their approaches to organization and search), and I don't believe that GMail has password protected folders either (for reference, see this, this, this, etc.). Not conclusive, but telling, to my mind. After digging a bit, I also came up with this Evernote forum thread that seems to show the flavor of Evernote's thinking on the topic, as espoused by their then-CTO Dave Engberg. (note: i didn't read past the first two (of 32!) thread pages). I don't see that that's changed.
