Hi,
Thanks for this updated version, it works fine!
Two remarks:
- The version is not signed, so I need to click on "Run" every time (Safety check)
- There seems to be an issue with the category-flag: it creates the item with an additional '/category'-category.

Thanks for analysing.
Koen

Hello Koen,

About the signing issue, I run XP and there I just need to tell the system once to not show this dialog box. I assume you use Windows 7, I don't know (yet) how things work there. You can't suppress this?

About the category flag thing, I can't reproduce this. If I do "do test /cat testcat" it all works as expected. Can you elaborate?

I was using the latest FireFox and its downloader, which did not produce a zip file that worked (this is the first time I have had this issue on any download). But you were right, your file link is good. I started up Google Chrome and downloaded using it and got a perfectly good file.  There is something going on with the FireFox downloading, it seems.

Anyway, I installed your program. Very nice, simple and understandable interface. I selected my section of Notes, with 799 pages in it (no subpages). Before I ran the sort, I went to the OneNote folder and did a right click, copy, paste and rename of the file so that I would have a backup, in case anything went wrong with the sort). Since your program throws up a warning that the sort can't be undone, it would be nice to give the option to do a backup or suggest the user do it, just because there is so much in OneNote that can be lost.

When I ran the sort, it took a few seconds to run the sort and complete the sort of 799 pages. Perfect results!

As an external program, it is nice as a way of ordering what you have.

I encourage you to keep up on this and maybe spread the word on other forums, like the Microsoft OneNote forums, so that others can benefit from your gem of a sort solution!

Glad it works for you!
I posted this on the OneNote Microsoft Answers forum as well, months ago, so people should be able to find it, but maybe I should post a reminder.
This will remain an external program rather than an add-in until the OneNote team make it easier to make an add-in for the 2010 version ;)

Any new updates to the Sort OneNote 2010?

I tried downloading the zip file and extracting the contents, and got the Windows message that the zip cannot be opened.

It appears to me that there is a significant need for this solution. I have a lot of notes that I have moved from Outlook to OneNote and I have had them in sorted alphabetical order by title of the page (that is tab) while using OneNote 2007. Now that I am on OneNote 2010, I cannot sort using the prior sort addin that was available.

I don't have subpages but do need to sort tabs within a section, so when I create a new one, like I just did for DonationCoder, I don't have to manually drag it up from the bottom of the list to the "c" area through 650 other pages already there.

Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded and opened the zip file without any problems! Please try again.

Good luck!

Hi Walbert,

Here is a version of do.exe that will take /nodate or /nd as a switch to create a task with no start and due dates.
Please let me know if there are any problems, or more wishes.

Enjoy!
