Preview: "show notes" not working

Hi, I have called written in feedback regarding this issue since Mac OS Mojave and after upgrading to Mac OS Catalina , the problem had yet to be solved. I have seen in the community that since Mac OS High Sierra this issue had been going on since then.

The Issue:

In Preview, I did my annotations as a note. However, when I want to print my notes, I clicked on "show notes" and the notes that I had typed did not appear (shown in the attached picture, circled in red).

I am hoping that Apple would address and solve this going problem for years.

Thank you!

Hi, just an update on this issue. Currently, show notes is working well and are able to be printed if "CTRL-COMMAND-N" was used (As seen in the blue post-it). However, it does not work when i highlight my text in yellow, right click to "Add Notes" (As seen in the yellow annotations that goes with the yellow post-it.

I hope that Apple will solve this issue too, it will be perfect soon!

Since I installed MacOS Catalina the Preview Notes function on new and old documents no longer places notes in chronological/page order. All other Notes' functions seem unchanged but it is now impossible to locate notes by scrolling in the sidebar because they do not appear in page order. As I said, both documents already annotated and those I am currently annotating in Preview are affected. I can find nothing in Preview about re-ordering notes. Is this a glitch with an easy fix?
