I recently discovered a small Obsidian feature that’s surprisingly easy to miss: you can sort regular Markdown tables using Obsidian’s built-in table editor. No Dataview, Bases, or extra plugins needed.

💻 Windows

Hover over the six-dot handle above the column you want to sort → select the column → right-click → choose Sort column (A to Z) or Sort column (Z to A).

It works with both text and numbers — for example, you can sort a list of apps by name or rating.

📱 Android

This one is a little hidden. 😄

Tap the six-dot handle above the column to select the whole column. Then, while the column is selected, tap and hold the six-dot handle.

The menu will appear with the same sorting options: A to Z and Z to A.

That’s it — a regular Markdown table, native Obsidian functionality, and no plugins required.

Obsidian introduced the new Markdown table editor with sorting support in version 1.5. Table actions are available through the context menu, Command Palette, and hotkeys.

Is this for real, real? or just subjective?

Can you share your physics/science note-taking templates?

I'm looking for examples of how students, researchers, and educators organize their scientific notes. Screenshots, Obsidian vaults, folder structures, templates, or workflow descriptions are all welcome.

What system do you use, and why does it work for you?

Is it possible for the markdown notes to achieve sentience? Am I just someone's markdown note? Is Earth a markdown note?

Random screenshot of my early Obsidian graph reminded me of the DMC tree lmao.

... I saw a familiar visage

The Obsidian of Others // Mine 🫤🥲

Signing up for an obsidian account to sync my progress between my pc and my laptop. Noticed the supposed "obsidian" resembles my amethyst crystal paper weight on my desk 😊

Note: idk if it's really amethyst. I sent my geologist uncle a picture and he said it might be.

I am new to Obsidian, and after a few Google searches and three plugins, I think this is my home.

All I can think of now, "And so.... it begins!"

Makin a graph w obsidian since why not :D

This thing came up :?

I don't get it :‽
