If you have a lot of notes, sorting their page or section tabs can make it easier to find what you are looking for. While there's no automatic way to sort these tabs alphabetically, you can do it manually by dragging the section or pages into the order you want.

  1. Open the notebook containing the pages you want to sort.

  2. Click and hold the page tab you want to move.

  3. Drag the page tab to the desired position in the list. Release the mouse button to drop the page into place.

If you have more than one notebook, you can also change the order that these appear in your Notebooks list. Simply drag any of your notebook icons to the position you want.

Don't worry; changing the sort order of notebook, section, or page tabs won't break any links to your notes that you might have created.
