I toggled a notebook to use updated date and reversed sort order. Then, I toggled through all sort and order combinations for All notes. Both the toggled notebook and All notes displayed the expected sort and order combination upon clicking them. If this isn't relevant, would you mind rephrasing your issue?
Most forum members view threads that they don't respond to, including you. I would have responded if I had something constructive to respond with. Developers and community members alike (most of whom are volunteers) feel the same way. So do you for others' threads that receive 0 responses or no attention. Stuff happens, get over it. Unless you want to encourage others to exclude you from their forum experience, I'd suggest listening to what I and many others have told you.
