iPad Notes - Sorting items inside a Check list

I have a check list of things to buy at the supermarket:


Sugar

Milk

potatos

salt

butter

...


Is there a way to sort this items inside the note to be shown as


butter

Milk

potatos

salt

sugar.


I know how to send the checked items to the bottom of the list, but this is to sort out the unchecked items by alphabetical order.


Thanks,

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

The Notes app on iPad does not currently support automatic sorting of checklist items in alphabetical order. However, you can manually sort items by opening the Notes app, selecting the checklist note, editing the checklist, and reordering items by cutting and pasting. If manual sorting is cumbersome, consider using third-party note-taking apps, task management apps, or exporting and sorting into a spreadsheet.
