Dear all

Thanks a lot for this app. Very great job.

One interesting features is to be able to order my notes in different way independently of each notebook.

ex:

- for notebook "1", I need to display my notes by alphabetical order reverse
- for notebook "2", I need to display my notes by last updated first  
....

At this time, when I select one specific order, it is the same for ALL the notebooks.

Thanks a lot !

Chaggui

Hi,

On desktop, it should be possible to right-click on a notebook, then select "toggle own sort order". Notebooks with "Toggle own sort order" checked can have a different sort order from other notebooks.
