Hi vitali171,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you'd like to know how to sort Notes on your iPhone. I know how important it is to keep track of the notes you have on your device; I'd like to help. If you're referring to the list of notes you've created when you open the Notes app, you can use these steps to sort them by Date Edited, Date Created, or Title. You can sort with these options by individual folders or select as a default sorting method for all notes:


"To sort your notes inside of folders:


    1. Go to the folder that you want to sort.
    2. Swipe down on your screen, until you see the Search field.  
    3. Tap the Sort by field, then choose how you want to sort your notes. You can sort each folder by date created, date edited, or title.


To sort all of your notes automatically, go to Settings > Notes, and tap Sort Notes By. Then choose how you want to sort your notes."


Use Notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.


If you're referring to sorting a list that you've created within a note on your device, such as a checklist, the information in this resource regarding formatting your Notes: Write notes on iPhone
