FWIW, my work is not project based and the creation date of the notes is not a problem, nor is it the key factor for me that determines a notes relevancy. Search works great when I want to find specific note(s) but when I want to see, at a glance, the notes are most current for me I scan down the notes list. My request is about a way to exclude certain notes that I don't want in the list. Using tags would be a great solution if only the iPhone app, which I use heavily, allowed me the same flexibility on how a sort, group and filter my notes.
