Sort notes

PreviousOpen note in a new windowNextInfo Panel

Last updated 3 months ago

By default, your notes are sorted by last updated time (newest first).

You can change the sorting order for default sorting, or in each notebook and tag. UpNote supports different sorting order for separate notebooks and tags.

On desktop, click the … button in the top right corner of the note list panel and select Sort notes. You may also right-click on the notebook/tag from the sidebar and select Sort notes.

On mobile, tap the … button in the bottom right corner of the note list screen and select Sort notes.

Then, you can set or change the default or custom sorting order for the notebook or tag.

Please note that the sort order of each notebook/tag/filter is synced across other devices. However, the default sort order is not synced and is specific to each device.

Sort your notes in custom order

On mobile

  1. Set the sort order of your notes list to Custom (following the guide above).

  2. Drag the note up and down in the notes list to reorder its position.
