Zotero PDF annotation: Sort by date [Feature request]

vivjiu

I love the PDF annotation feature in Zotero, and how I can easily add it to the notes. Is there a way I can sort the annotations by data?

I read some articles in my library over many days/ revisit them after some time, and make annotations that I'd like to extract to the note.

Not currently. Could you say more about the exact workflow you're envisioning?

I also love to have annotations sorted by their adding date.

Workflow:
For re-reading a book or an article in zotero, I want to only visit several specific sites and add annotations there.
After reading, I would extract the annotations and sort them according to their adding date. That way, I can easily find and then work on the notes added most recently.

Is that possible? Thanks.

Maybe not exactly what the OP asked for, but what would be incredibly useful if modifying or adding an annotation on a PDF with the internal viewer would reflect in the "Date Modified" field. This way, we could sort by "Date Modified" to see which files we have been working on recently.

I think up another way of getting recently modified notes out by starting annotations with modified dates.

Now, my workflow is this:
Start annotations with current date.
Extract annotations in Zotero.
Copy and paste annotations to my refrence note, and only keep those annotations with recent date.
