Thank you very much! I am switching over from Evernote and this was one of the features I needed in OneNote. Sadly not built into their product, grateful for your work here :)

Just found this & extremely happy! I was searching for a page sorter by date & came across this website. Thank you so much for creating something so easy to use, does the job, great instructions, & no virus/malware/or advertisement. You guys rock.

Heya,

Thanks for an amazing macro, I found this today and it already made my work life a little easier, the only thing I would like to know:
Is it possible to set it to automatically sort Descending?
I already changed the part: $direction = ($dialog_box.controls["dir"] == "Descending") from Ascending in the xml file but it still sorts ascending when I create a new page/restart one note.

Thanks!

But it still

gsmith7: Thanks for reporting. I fixed the macro and it should work as expected now.

When I'm using this macros it sorts everything in a notebook even when the sort only section option is chosen

using office 365 subscription for onenote on PC running Windows 10

Love Onetastic - thank you

I downloaded Onetastic just for this. It's crazy that it is not built in to OneNote. I don't know about others, but personally 99% of the time I only interact with the last 5 or so notes I edited, so sorting them is essential!

happygoat: This macro is now updated with an option to run it in all sections of the current notebook

Nice, but could be nice if it could go through all sections in the current notebook, so I would not have to take one section after the other.

Jeff: Yes

Will notes appear updated by date in the mobile version of one note?

Will notes appear updated by date in the mobile version of one note?

Brooks: Yes that should work. When they sync through Onedrive, you will see the sort order on Mac

Brooks - 2016-09-30

Thank you Omar. I also have OneNote running under Windows 7 in a Parallels virtual machine. If I use Onetastic to sort my notes on that version, will the notes remain the same sorted order when I look at them in the Mac version?

Omer Atay - 2016-09-30

Brooks: No. See getonetastic.com/faq#mac-ios-android

Brooks - 2016-09-30

Does Onetastic work with OneNote for Mac?

CsZ - 2016-08-15

First of all: many thanks for this solution, Onetastic is great!
On the other hand it is strange that while so much money spent on free and loss-making developments, basic features still missing from the highly expensive office components.
I would like to join to “joyce1em”: descending autosort by creation date is a fundamental feature in a note handling tool. This is the most common usage if you make topics as sections.

david.willis - 2016-04-14

Is there any way to sort just the top level of pages (i.e. not subpages) so that subpages stay with their parent?

Eric B - 2015-10-30

Can we make it autosort?

John - 2015-02-18

Is there a way to sort by the pages within a section by the defaulted date on the page?

joyce1em - 2014-11-13

Is there a way to apply page sorting by date to all notebooks and folders? From there, is there a way to default new pages to appears at the top of the page navigation on the right side? This would essentially set a descending order default by date created.
