# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.getupnote.com/organize-and-manage-notes/find-and-view-notes/sort-notes.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
