Hey there helenefromfranklin,


We understand you're wanting to sort list within the Notes app. We'll be happy to clarify about this.


To-do lists can be sorted manually or automatically. This can be adjusted by going to: Settings > Notes > Sort Checked Items


When Manually is selected, you can hold your finger on the circle next to the text to drag and drop the location within the list.

If Automatically is selected, checked items go to the bottom of the list as they are checked.


For full details on how to-do lists work on iPadOS and iOS, check out this page: Create a to-do list with Notes


Cheers!
