On the Android app there is currently only 3 pre-defined ways to sort vault contents: by name, modified time, and created time. There is no way to manually re-arrange this list if a user wanted a certain note always at the top, bottom, or just a custom order of the list.
Proposed solution
I think functionality to allow manual re-arranging of notes and folders via drag and drop would be the simplest solution to this. Also the most common workflow for this type of feature in other apps.
Admittedly I only searched using the android tag, so I didn’t see that thread. I did just install that plugin and was testing it out. It seems to have some bugs and isn’t working correctly right now though. I noticed the issues I saw were logged as issues in the plugin github repo.
But I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this now! Will be a game changer when it works well, at least until this functionality is native to the app! Thanks for showing it to me!
I am new to Obsidian. Though, I have had it for a while, I really starting using it recently. Kudos to the developers and the large cohort of enthusiasts to make this a vibrant community.
I agree with the comments here - there should be a simple feature of manual arrangement of files and folders, besides the three [Name, modified and created] that exists as of now.
Since, I am using Obsidian for journaling, I think a manual arranging feature would go a long way. It may also work on the simple idea that the notes are arranged in default with any of the three options till they are re-arranged manually.
But having said so, I am thoroughly enjoying Obsidian. Keep up the good work.
