Sorting and Filtering Notes

What it does

You can sort, order, and filter the Notes list to find notes faster. Controls are in the Sort panel (⋯ → Sort) and the Group by Date toggle in the options menu.

How to use it

1. On the Notes list, tap ⋯ (top-right) → Sort to open the Sort / Filter panel.
2. Choose a Sort by option: Date created, Date Updated, or Title (alphabetical A–Z).
3. Choose an Order by direction: Newest first (descending) or Oldest first (ascending).
4. To filter by date, set a start date and/or end date: only notes created or updated within that window are shown.
5. To filter by tag, select one or more tags in the Tags filter section, only notes with matching tags appear.
6. To group notes by date, tap ⋯ → Group by Date (toggle). When on, notes are grouped under section headers (Today / Yesterday / older dates). When off, notes appear as a flat list.
7. To search, tap the 🔍 icon (top-right) and type. Notes are searched by title and content with a 500ms debounce. Tap ✕ to clear.

When an active filter returns no results, the list shows "There are no notes to show".

Tips & shortcuts

• Combine a Date Range filter with a Tag filter to narrow down notes about a specific topic from a specific period.
• Group by Date is a view toggle, not a filter; it reorganises the list without hiding notes.
• Clear date/tag filters from the Sort panel; clear search from the search bar itself.
