# 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.

2. Select **Sort Notes**.
3. You can also right-click a **notebook** or **tag** in the sidebar and choose **Sort Notes** from the menu.<br>

#### 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.

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