macbook notes - sorting folders (not notes).

When will this feature become available? It's such a basic feature and should be native to the Notes application. How can we get this feature added?

thanks!

Sort order when you do a search in Mac Notes? I'm thinking about moving back to Mac Notes, from Evernote. (On an iMac M1 running Sonoma.) The current version of Notes still seems to have some unusual behavior: --You can sort all of your notes, in Settings, so they display sorted by the title; that's good. --When I want to find a particular note I do a Search for a word, and then plan to scan the list of matching notes to find the specific one I am looking for. --Unfortunately, the results of the Search show the notes is some arbitrary order, no longer sorted by the title (making it harder to find and open the Note I'm trying to find.) Am I missing something? Is there a setting somewhere that can fix this? Is this a bug?

Notes folders are no longer sorting alphanumerically Howarduns posted this question in 2021 and I am wondering if anyone found an answer/solution? "To be more precise, there are now 3 alphanumeric sorted sections. I contacted Apple technical support. Engineering reports that this is normal functionality; that Notes folders must be manually sorted. I have used notes for approximately 15 years (since the introduction of macOS X). Prior to 2021, my Notes folders sorted automatically consistently. I have just over 2500 notes in over 100 folders. This has become a bit of an issue. When I look for notes, I must check folders in 3 sections. This is a back end issue. The same behaviour is observed on iCloud, my MacBook, iPad and iPhone. Howard" I too have this same issue and exactly the same experience, folders within the notes app used to sort alphanumerically but stop doing so a couple of years ago. I've been searching everywhere for an answer/solution with no luck. I was just hoping someone has found an answer? Please be advised the notes within a folder do sort alphabetically and most peoples suggestions revolve around that. The problem is not the notes within the folders but the folders themselves.
