Alphabetically sort folders in the side panel #3443
Comments
You can drag your folders with your mouse in any order you like. Alphabetical order doesn't make much sense to me. It should be based on priority since it has the same order as the drop down from your Markdown note. How many folders do you have? |
I have about 30. If there was a filter search for only folders that would
be good too. Then a view would be created with a more manageable subset of
folders. This is good for weeding out duplication of folders etc etc

@mariomui-viscira I think I have the same problem as you do:
I think we can make this issue into a discussion. My suggestion for you is to create separate storage locations and redistribute your folders into subsets. For example storage locations for
and folders within them for
distributed in above storages. I currently have 2k5 notes. I went a different approach, ditching folders completely and using only tags. So this is not perfect either. Sorting folders is different from search filters. I feel like we should describe the problem first before suggestion solutions. Can you share your thoughts on my suggestions, and which limitations there should be improved? |
Edit: the Tags in the sidebar cannot be combined with the search so currently this is not an option for me. |
While you can't specifically search on tags, they are still used. A note with tag |
@Flexo013 hm, I see. In Boostnote 0.11.12 you can specifically search on tags. A note with tag #hello will show up when searching The problem here is that The problem I have with 0.11.12 is that Generally speaking I think Boostnote search lacks the concept of weight, e.g. folders, categories, tags, keywords, anything like that The good news is that Boost Note already implemented this. The search of Boost Note is far superior to Boostnote. I think we shouldn't bother improving this in Boostnote, in my eyes this feature is already obsolete. |
Alphabetical order is standard. If you have hundred folders, searching something in unuedered list is a nightmare. |
It's not a bug but before I work on it, I'm just gonna put a general issue out here so there's no duplication of effort. As a user, I should be able to sort my folders by alphabet, descending or ascending.
