put notes in order

josephcl
Another feature that's very un-intuitive is that when you print a report on an article, all the notes you've entered are printed in reverse order, from the most recent entry to the first entry. There should be a way to put them in order... I notice that sorting the files (in the center pane) by "date added" does not work.

    Problems with sorting of notes in reports are fixed in the latest dev builds (and will be fixed in 1.0.5, which should be out very soon).

    I think my request is related to this one (??). I'm taking notes on a book. I start each note with the page number. They are automatically sorted into a non-numerical order, filed under the first digit. So 151 goes underneath 15, rather than after 149. Is there some way to change this?

    add leading zeroes: 001, 015, 151.

    This is a separate issue, unfortunately, and is a result of the difference between how computers generally sort numbers and how humans do.

    I'll create a ticket, but I don't know when we'll get to it. Using leading zeroes is a good workaround in the meantime.
