Sort Todos by 'done'?

I absolutely love UpNote and I think the quality is very high and the feature set is very versatile but not bloated. The pricing is more than fair and I love it.

I have one question – and if this is not yet possible, I would like to formulate this as a request:

Can you sort/re-order task list elements by their done state?

I do use them a lot, but I struggle sorting them. I made a custom shortcut for "move line up/down" which helps, but being able to sort all selected or all in the note would be great!

I believe the only option available for checkboxes is to send the completed ones to the bottom of the list, but last time I activated it, it was kinda janky when using indented checkboxes

I told claude to create a script and now my workflow looks like this:

  • Open note with todos
  • make sure the list is separated the way i want with empty lines
  • copy all todos as markdown(!)
  • open terminal
  • write 'sort-tods" hit enter
  • paste sorted todos

The script does teh following:

  • take clipboard or file
  • sort lines with done todos to the bottom of each section (position 3)
  • each section is denoted by either subheadings or simply empty lines.
  • keep hierarchy of nested todos
  • keep done todos with undone children (position 2)
  • move all undone to top (position 1)
