Notes and folders
Reorder and move notes
Drag notes and folders into your own order, or into another folder.
What it is for
Alphabetical order and date order are rarely the order you think in. Dragging lets the note you need every day sit at the top, and the folder you are working in sit first.
How to use it
- Hover a note or folder to reveal the grip handle (⠿) on its left, then drag it up or down. It reorders within the same level.
- To move a note into a folder, drag it onto the folder.
- Or right-click the note → Move file to... and choose a folder, or No folder. A tick marks where it is now.
- Folders move the same way: right-click → Move folder to... and pick a folder or Top level.
- On a phone or tablet, press and hold the handle for a moment before dragging.
Example
Today's notes on top
Drag this week's planning note to the top of its folder so it is the first thing you see, then drag it back down on Friday.
Good to know
- Your order is saved to your account and is the same on every device.
- A folder cannot be moved inside itself or inside one of its own subfolders, so those choices are not offered.
- Prefer an automatic order? Press Sort (↑↓) at the top of the sidebar and choose Last edited, Date created or Name (A–Z). Manual is the order you drag, and it comes back exactly as it was when you choose Manual again. The choice follows your account to every device.
- In Last edited, Date created and Name (A–Z), dragging still moves a note into another folder but doesn't change its place. Folders follow Name (A–Z) and Date created; with Last edited they keep the order you gave them.
