Feature Request for Note Sorting & Pinning

Bear feedback Feature Request

Option to set alternate note sorting and pinning preferences based on tags. In other words, the ability to sort notes differently for each tag, and to have notes pinned under one tag but not necessarily pinned in the general notes section or within every tag relevant to that note.

For instance, sometimes it’s most functional for me to sort my notes within a certain tag based on creation date however, another tag may be more functional when sorted alphabetically.

Additionally, I sometimes need a certain note pinned under one of its tags but not necessarily in the general notes section.

Personally, in a single work day, I create and edit notes under several different tags, so I end up resorting as well as pinning and unpinning my notes multiple times per day, which can sometimes get a bit frustrating. I have also lost track of information due to not resorting or not remembering to either re-pin (in order to keep a specific note accessible) or unpin (so I don’t end up with so many pinned notes that it defeats the purpose).

The sorting should have two settings:a global default (like now) and per tag. If no sorting is specifically set for a tag, use the global default.

I use bear for long form writing sometimes, splitting chapters/section in different notes. To keep them in the desired order I use alphabetical sorting. But I only want it in the tag for that project. Overall I use mod date.
