Earlier today, when I inserted a template, the templates were listed in the same alphabetical order that appeared in the File Explorer. However, this evening, it changed to a different order.
This is the insert template list w/ “Note template” the fifth item:
I watch the exact same behavior. I have already three times copied all my template files to recover my whished and beloved alphabetical sort order. After some hour of usage without a recognizable cause I have a chaotic and random looking sort order again. Solutions to that were really appreciated.
This is very annoying. There doesn’t seem to be any logic around the template order that I can discern. Templates are supposed to reduce friction and not being able to order them based on usage goes against that principle.
Came here to make this exact feature request. I have named my templates so like templates are all similarly named, and having them be randomized in the template selector is confusing
Sorry for the necro but I didn’t want to make a new thread if one was already here.
I’m having the same issue–every time I open Obsidian, the template order randomizes, which makes it difficult to quickly find the template I need. Is there still no way to fix this?
I have the same problem. Here I am organizing my templates by inserting a numeric prefix so I know the order I need to insert, but it suddenly randomized everytime I insert a new template.
How come this is happening? And how do I solve it?
I have found a solution! All I did was create another folder and transfer all the notes from the previous folder to the new one. Then, I declared the new the templates folder in the core plugins.
To clarify the new folder is called “☆Note Templates” and the old folder is called “☆Templates”, but I later reverted it again to to “☆Templates” and still works fine.
