AFAIK this doesn't exist in Joplin, but correct me if i'm wrong. Couldn't find this.

It's possible to sort the notes-_list_ by putting the completed tasks at the bottom. Inside a note you can add also checkboxes. I often use one todo-note for a week or (small (sub))project.

It would be handy to sort the text inside a note where all the completed tasks are moved towards the bottom.  
Maybe a plugin who scans every line for "- [x] " and put this line on the bottom? I don't have the skills to do this by myself.

In the markdown editor you can sort lines alphabetically, a completed checkbox is after a completed checkbox alphabetically so that should work for you. You'll just need to highlight all the lines with checkboxes, and then the keybinding should be Ctrl+alt+s if I remember correctly.

Ah! Thanks! Wasn't aware of sorting lines inside a note. Problem solved.
