Sorting Notes and Tags in Notes on the Web

[bmclawson]

When I'm interested in looking up what references are in my tags it would be helpful to see them in alphabetic order in stead of chronologically. One of the reasons I want to be able do this is to find tags with the same name but with different contents. Because the tags are sorted by the most recent and can't be sorted in any other way the only way of knowing if there are duplicate tag names is to randomly run across them. Then I can do a search for them and proceed with the lengthy process of moving the references from one tag to another (improving that procedure could be the subject of another thread).
Are there any plans to add the option for how Notes and Tags are sorted?

I'm fairly certain that you used to be able to sort tags in various ways (alphabetical, number of notes, etc.). A lot of stuff was removed when they revised the Notes page.

This is a user-to-user forum. They only thing you can do to get feedback to the decision makers is to click on the Feedback tab on the lower-right side of the Notes page.

That's good to know. Thanks.

I’m not sure if this is the right area, but i see that under my notebooks tab and tags tab, i can sort by most recent, but under individual tags and notes, everything is ordered chronologically with the oldest first. As i am a prolific tagger, sometimes i have to scroll through 100 entries to get to the most recent. Often i will be editing and adding and have to doomscroll to add to a note I’ve just made.

Please help me fix this if you can. I am sire it’s just a setting somewhere but I cant seem to find it.

I just looked at this again. I don't know if it's been there since the redo, or if was added more recently. I don't believe I went back and looked when I made the comment a few months ago. But as I look now, I see there is an option.

Click on Tags, then Filters. You have options for the sort order and to filter by create/edit date. The default is Last Added to, but you can choose alphabetic or number of notes.
