Order sections in OneNote 2007 alphabetically Peter Maddern 05.07.2006 20:25:01 Does anyone know how to do this (as sections don't appear to order themselves in alphabetical order automatically). Thanks -- Peter, UK

Alpha-sorting of sections is my no.1 feature request for the next version. It was my no.1 feature request for ON2007 too but apparently didn't get high enough up in the priority list for the ON project team. -- Regards John Waller

Our requirement for sorting has nothing to do with archiving. We run a private singing school and have five teachers with 150+ students with lessons held once a week for each student. For us: Folders = Teachers Sections - Students Pages = Lessons We want to right-click on the Sections and sort alphabetically (rather than ON sorting automatically) to find Students notes quickly and easily for taking notes in their next lesson and refrring to the notes in general. We do this sorting manually at present which is tedious. -- Regards John Waller

We'd be interested in this plug-in, Fritz, assuming it would work for us in our application of it of course. -- Regards John Waller

Re: Order sections in OneNote 2007 alphabetically srd <srd152000[ at ]yahoo.com> 08.07.2006 01:41:44 Yes, that's a different feature than I thought you were recommending. Th= e = fact is, although OneNote 2007 beta has a navigation tree, there is very= = little you can actually accomplish within this hierarchical structure. Y= ou = cann't sort alphabetically, as you point out; you cannot select multiple= = sections to move at the same time, as in all modern outliners; you canno= t = collapse and expand all to given level of detail.
