Sort notebooks in the sidebar

You can organize how your notebooks appear in the sidebar by sorting them alphabetically or arranging them manually in a custom order.


Sort by Title

  1. Open Settings → General → Sort items in the sidebar.

  2. Select Title (A → Z) or Title (Z → A) to sort notebooks alphabetically.


Custom Sorting of Main Notebooks

  1. Open Settings → General → Sort items in the sidebar and select Custom.

  2. Rearrange notebooks manually:

    • On Mac, Windows, and Linux: Drag a notebook up or down in the sidebar.

    • On iOS: Tap and hold a notebook in the sidebar, then drag it up or down to change its order.

    • On Android:

      1. Tap and hold a notebook in the sidebar and select Rearrange in the pop-up menu.

      2. Drag the handle on the right side of each notebook row to adjust the order.


Custom Sorting of Nested Notebooks

  1. Open the parent notebook to view its nested notebooks in the notes list panel.

    • If nested notebooks don’t appear, go to Settings → General and enable Show nested notebooks in the notes list.

  2. Drag the nested notebooks up or down in the notes list panel to reorder them.

  3. The new order will automatically be reflected in the sidebar.


Note

If you’re unable to drag notebooks to rearrange them, make sure Custom sorting is enabled under Settings → General → Sort items in the sidebar.
