Notes app folders not in alphabetical order; they are in a random order with no way to sort folders. This happened on my iPad, and a month later iPHONE too. Just upg to 14.1, no change.

I put this under the heading “using iPad,” because I couldn’t find notes anywhere as a choice for a support topic.


Notes app folders not in alphabetical order; they are in a random order with no way to sort folders. This happened on my iPad, and a month later iPHONE too. I Just upg to 14.1, and no fix. I have over 1200 notes, and this has me paralyzed trying to use my notes. It will allow me to move one folder at a time, and it sticks where I move it (but it’s cumbersome to drag even one folder on a touchscreen, and I have over 1200 folders). I miss the days when Apple just worked.


any idea why Apple has not addressed this yet? Or when they might fix it?

iPad Air 2, iOS 10

FYI, I also tried reloading from the cloud (when I got a new iPhone 11), but did not solve the issue..


I just remembered 2-3 months ago Apple support told me it was a bug, but they were vague about whether it would ever be fixed or not.
