Thanks. I just want to point out that this is a problem in Windows as well so it's not just iOS or Android.
Regarding this suggestion by @bmcl26:
Sure. But I don't use my pinned notes that way. I have a pinned note with my most urgent to-do list, where the highest priorities are at the top. This is what I would like to see immediately when I open Evernote, not the less urgent items on the bottom. (and please don't suggest that I write my to-to list in inversed order...)
