not the Notes themselves, but the items within one note. For instance, a list of word that you want in alpha order.

Hello there Njninmd,
There are a few different ways that you can create and customize lists that you've created within the Notes app. To learn more about the options available, look over the guidance offered on this page: Create a checklist with Notes - Apple Support.
Check out the section labeled 'How to organize your checklists' to learn more about the options provided by Apple to organize information in a note in the Notes app.
How to organize your checklists
When you create a checklist list, it's easy to organize it. Here are a few things you can do:
• Reorder items with drag and drop. Just drag the item in the list to the place you want.
• Swipe to indent items. Swipe the list item right to indent and left to reverse the indent.
• Move checked items to the bottom automatically. Go to Settings > Notes, tap Sort Checked Items, then tap Manually or Automatically.
• Check items as you complete them or uncheck all items to start over.
If this does not help as a workaround for what you are looking for, provide Apple with feedback to help improve their offerings within the Notes app. You can do so here on their Product Feedback - Apple page.
We hope this information helps you out.
Kind regards!
