This is a real quick show-and-tell of rawbytz’s “sortWF” tool for WorkFlowy. All you do is:
- Zoom into the list you want to sort
- Activate the sortWF bookmarklet
- Click on A-Z or Z-A … Voilà!
Let’s just say you’ve got a list of periodic table elements in WorkFlowy, sorted according to atomic number (or maybe a list of DVD’s – if those still exist)… and you would like to have them ordered alphabetically. Well, this is how easy it is:
You might also want to order the same list in reverse. Now in the following animated GIF, you’ll see that I have everything prefixed with a number (another rawbytz tool) so that when I sort Z-A, the list of elements retains its hierarchy according to atomic weight… but is now in reverse order:
You can visit rawbytz’s blog post for more details (including how to set this tool up as a script which you can activate by keyboard shortcut) and/ or you can grab the bookmarklet directly over here.
If you have (or have always wanted to have) any use cases where you sort by title, go ahead and tell us about it below 🙏
