Regarding the new "New Note" button design

I use both Notebook and Note lists in one column on the left, this change hit me hard and shifted the notes down by one, eating precious screen real estate and making that part of the screen extremely cluttered (2 lines of controls right under the synchronize button).

I have the same feeling as you, but it has improved a little since v2.10.12, the breakpoint is triggered when the note list panel width is less than 324px, and I think it's better than before. But for me, I think below 300px will be better.

That said I still think the Sort notes button is useless, the option is in the menu.
I would propose to al teast try and give useless things like the Sort Notes and All Notes buttons and Tag list a clear HTML ID since the classes are randomly named and it's difficult to target them via user CSS without breaking on every update.

At this point, here's a suggestion:

/* add the below into your userchrome.css */

.search-bar ~ div {
  display: none;
}

It will work without a problem if the updates do not add any elements between the search bar and those buttons. So, it's way better than using the random class if you want to hide it by custom css.

If you do not want the sort button you can turn it off in the settings.

Oh! I missed this setting!

An option inside the joplin's settings would be great in order to be able to choose between the previous UI and the new one. I feel very inconfortable with the new one (I only use JOPLIN on computers). I really need to have a separate line for the search zone (like before) and not a "magic circus" zone !
