Specifies the primary sorting order for notes within containers, agents and smart adornments based on an existing system or user attribute. In default sorting A-Z precedes a-z, thus the sort order Aardvark, Boy, aardvark [sic], though this can be altered by SortAlso which offers three choices of sort logic.
A secondary sort is also allowed, such as where two notes have equal values under the main sort criterion. The secondary sort is set via SortAlso.
On Create/Rename dialogs, the list of available choices is shown in a Sort pop-up menu.
If unsure of allowed target attribute on which to sort, the best place to set a sort is via the note's naming panel (Enter key). If exposed via KeyAttributes, the value pop-up will only show values already sorted on within the document.
To reverse the sort order based on the given attribute, use SortBackward.
