I strongly support the "manual sort" option. The ability to order your own notes - i.e. to drag and drop individual notecards so that they appear in a particular order (and same with notebooks and stacks on the sidebar) - would be enormously helpful to me. I am writing a dissertation. The whole point of getting a note-taking app for me was to replicate the old "index card" method of organizing your evidence: if this were the 1970s, I'd have all the cards spread out on the floor, shuffling the order according to how I want each claim to appear in the final text. When I signed up for Evernote, I assumed it would allow me to do the same thing, so that my note-storage app could also function as an outline for the dissertation. As it is, I need to translate everything from Evernote into a word document, just so I can see my ideas laid out in the order I want. If "manual sort" is, for some reason, not an option, then Evernote should at least provide a "jamboard"-like function: a blank space where users can drag-n-drop their notecards, see them all laid out, and play around with the order and groupings. This might be the best way of replicating that index card experience. If Evernote wants to be a useful tool for writers, they're going to need to get a manual sort option. It's an essential - and I should think, rather basic - function for organizing a long text. But Evernote appears to have consistently ignored users' requests on this point for years, so I'm thinking about switching.
