Daniel Escapa's OneNote Blog

This seems to only do pages in a section, not the sections themselves. Since pages in a section are sort of date ordered I don't really mind their ordering (since I normally need to see the last few pages only), but the sections is the big area where sorting is needed.

It works very well though on the pages :)

I can't get the toolbar option to show up at all. It also doesn't display in my list of add-ins.

I'm running Vista and OneNote 2007.

This looks like a great add-in!

Dan Escapa is on a tear releasing a set of new PowerToys for OneNote 2007. What's going on is that a

Absolutely great add on.  Great to see the comments from Dr. Erik too with how it helps keep track of his patients!  I have it now on all my tablets with One Note and will use it regularly.  Keep the good stuff coming!  

Due to a busy travel schedule and working on the agenda of Dev & IT-Pro Days 2007 , I haven't been

This plug-in dies when apply to empty sections. To replicate:

1. create a new section called test

2. delete the default page created my One Note

3. Apply A-Z sorting using plug-in

OneNote hangs and I get a message about HRESULT appearing in a dialog box.

Otherwise this plug-in is very useful, so thanks for the effort taken to develop it!

.. sort to pages unfortunately refused to work for me on onenote 2007 (with netframework 2.0) as well,  even after uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling. the same applies to the word count powertoy.

hello descapa. no, i am still running window xp. are the powertoys written specifically for windows vista then?

a reinstall with 'all users' option turned on did the trick. thank you descapa.

Thanks so much for doing this.  I recently bought OneNote 2007 and am hooked, but this was one of the few things I've noticed so far that I thought it sorely lacked.  Lack of alphabetizing ability and subpages that don't stay grouped in moves (This boggles my brain. I have to be doing something wrong) are my top two pet peeves so far - thanks for eliminating one of them!

this is a GREAT feature. For the life of me I can not fathom why a simple SORT feature was not inculded in OneNote in the first place. Does anyone have an idea besides "not high enough priority"? Maybe Microsoft should have put more people on ON rather than the silly Zune.

Wow! I am responsible for vendor management and the ability to keep my notes sorted by vendor is a great boost to my work!!

I tried it (XP Pro and Office 2007 Ultimate with the Install for Everyone option. After reboots and reinstalls nothing. It doesn't work. It gets dumped into the Program Files. A dll and a bmp shows up. That's it though.

Hi,

I was also having problems with sort pages not working as posted, but found the solution. Although I had .net 2.0 installed, xp etc. when onenote 2007 was originally installed it did not install .net Programmability Support by default. all you need to do is add that installation option to run from the computer by adding the feature from your onenote office disks and all works fine.Hope this helps.

I'd like to modify the code so it examines the existing sort order and reverses it -- so you can sort A-Z then Z-A by applying it twice. The sort order would be determined by examining the first two pages.

Is the source available, please?

this is great. any chance for a similar powertoy to sort lines in a table?

This is nice, but a "sort by date" button would be godlike.

Could this be realized?

Is there a way to collaps all the subpages, so i only see the page level?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ton

If you don't know I am a HUGE OneNote fan and have converted countless people from using Notepad

Any possibility of a power toy to sort a OneNote table by a particular column?

I simply cannot figure out why you would not add in a plethora of sorting options.  Learning the API and such is the 'hard' part, not basic sorting.

Even more puzzling is that you haven't posted the source code yet (or at least not in an obvious location).

Correct me about the source code?  Either way I'll probably just end up doing it all myself.  I just can't understand how so many people seem to actively minimize the beneficial impact their contributions have (though it would have been worse had you never tried or just kept it to yourself...).
