Sort notes

UpNote allows you to sort your notes in different ways so you can view them in the order that works best for you. You can sort notes by title or date, or set a custom order to keep your notes organized your way.

By default, notes are sorted by Last Updated (newest first). You can change the sorting order globally or set different sorting preferences for each notebook and tag — UpNote remembers your choice separately for each view.


On Desktop (Windows, Linux & macOS)

  1. Click the More (⋯) button in the upper-right corner of the note list.

  2. Select Sort Notes.

  3. You can also right-click a notebook or tag in the sidebar and choose Sort Notes from the menu.

On Mobile (iOS & Android)

  1. Tap the More (⋯) button in the lower-right corner of the note list.

  2. Select Sort Notes.

  3. Choose the sorting order you prefer.

Once selected, you can set or change the default sorting order for that notebook or tag.


Syncing Behavior

  • The sort order of each notebook, tag, or filter is synced across all your devices.

  • The default sort order of your notes list is not synced and is specific to each device.


Sort Notes in Custom Order

Custom sorting lets you manually reorder notes in the note list.

On Desktop

  1. Set the sorting order to Custom.

  2. Click the Rearrange icon at the top of the notes list.

  3. Drag notes up or down to reorder their position.

On Mobile

  1. Set the sorting order to Custom (following the steps above).

  2. Drag notes up or down in the list to place them in the order you want.
