### What issue do you have?

I have folders with different notes and todo's in them. some get tagged. I can see a list of items with particular tags.  
Question is: how can I manually sort items in a tag list, to see order in which I want to work on them? Currently I use a separate 'todo list', so that I can manually sort. Downside of this method is that items have to be moved from their folders to 'todo list'. and manually moved back after completion, or lose track of having worked on them.

I'm guessing that I am not the first or only person having this situation. Perhaps there is a addin or other method for dealing with this?
