Thank you very much for this Powertoy, Daniel. It's just what we were looking for. Works very well on our Notebooks.

Hi, nice powertoy. I've experienced a little problem though. Section groups are ignored and all the sections in those groups get moved to the highest level.

Now where's my backup... :-)

James - I need to release it soon, please give me a week or so and I will post it all.

Marc - You can always find backups by choosing File-->Open Backup but I would recommend that you just move the sections back into the section group. Like I said I didn't do much testing with this and I think I know what the problem is. I will try and address it in the near future, but my time is short right now : )

Again my apologies

Daniel, no problem at all... I restored the section groups by hand this morning.

Descapa,

Is there any way you can release the source code for this? I'm working on creating my own powertoy and am having trouble installing it. I would greatly appreciate it if I could look at your code to see how it is installed. Thanks!

Khouth - Are you using Vista? Do you have UAC/LUA disabled? Regardless please uninstall the tools and reinstall them and choose to install for "all users", this has helped many users with this problem. Good luck!

Tried to install for All users and Just me, but in both cases the result was an error message:

Were you doing this on a password protected section? Any other details?

That error code is not one that is generated by OneNote so it must be a COM error.

After running installation, which seems to be successful, there is not any button to sort the sections. Also, there is nothing listed in the add-in list.

I loaded sort pages successfully but sort sections isn't working. The icon doesn't show up after following the instructions.

Sort Sections and Sort Pages powertoy

Hi, I was very interested in what seemed to be an ideal extension. I have installed both the Powertoys, but the 2 icons are greyed out and do not do the sorting when clicked. Any ideas, tried 4 re-installations but no joy. Mike

Seems that you can't have the page and sections sorters installed at the same time. I installed the sections one first and worked fine. When I tried the pages, it just does not show up in my plug-in list. A co-worker did the same in the opposite order. He got the same results.

I'm running Vista with UAC disabled, installed for 'all users'.

Anyone else get both of them to work at the same time?

Is it possible to sort notebooks with 1,2,3 rather than 1, 10, 11 ?

re: Sort Sections powertoy - Help I've fallen and I can't get up.

Mags Ingval — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:54:54 GMT

Been using it for months...however just clicked 'sort by sections' and it did something it had never done before. Basically I put sections under the "section organizers?" (my app no longer runs...so I can't see what they are called, and I can't remember the proper name)

Anyway... I've run the sort feature before, with no problems. But THIS time... it took the sections out of the all of the 'organizers" and put them in the root.. AND... It no longer runs... It comes up, but stays in the 'not responding' state...for an hour at least.

Any ideas on how to not lose my stuff...other than restoring from 1 week old backup... would be appreciated.

re: Sort Sections powertoy - Problem moving sections from lower section groups

Kevin L. Sholder — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:10:18 GMT

Daniel,

GREAT tool, I think this is one the best I've found so far. I have found that if you have too many layers of "section groups" the tool will sometimes sort as expected, other wise it places them in the top level of the notebook. So I'm not sure if this a OneNote problem or a problem with the sections sort powertoy.

Keep up the good work.

be careful, if you have groups of sections, you will lose them and pages will move to other sections ! This mixes pages in the sections !
