hfeddema 1 Posted July 26 I have some very long tables that I would like to sort alphabetically by the first column. Is there any way to do this? 1 Share this post Link to post
jefito 5,347 Posted July 26 Is there any way to do this? Not In Evernote, no. You could try copy/pasting the table into a spreadsheet, sorting there, and then pasting over the original on in your note. 1 Share this post Link to post
hfeddema 1 Posted July 27 I pasted the table into an Excel worksheet, and tried to sort it by the first column, but got this odd error message: Share this post Link to post

hfeddema 1 Posted July 27 I didn't merge any cells -- just created a new worksheet and pasted the Evernote table into it. But I looked closely at the table, and I saw that there was an extra row between two rows of text, which starts at column 3, so apparently somehow it got merged when pasting the table. I tried sorting again, but got the same message, so I looked again, and found several more rows with merged cells, and fixed them, and then finally I was able to sort. It worked, except for two unsorted rows at the top (no, they didn't have spaces in front of the words). I retyped the content of those rows at the bottom, and deleted the two unsorted rows at the top, and then finally I was able to get the whole table sorted. I deleted the original Evernote table, and pasted in the sorted one, so now I have a sorted table. This whole process is quite time-consuming, so I think that I will just insert a row at the right place when adding new rows in future. It would be a lot easier if there was a native sort in Evernote. Share this post Link to post
qotbpaul 1 Posted October 11 I agree sorting in Evernote as a native option would be ideal. Not just in tables, but in bulleted lists as well. Would save me a lot of time. Share this post Link to post
