In Evernote, labels are now sorted using the ASCII character order, meaning they are arranged based on the numerical values assigned to each character in the ASCII table. Here’s how the sorting works:
- Symbols (ASCII 0–47): Sorted first.
- Numbers (ASCII 48–57): Next in line, numbers follow symbols.
- Additional symbols (ASCII 58–64) and more symbols (ASCII 91–96): These symbols are sorted after numbers.
- Letters (ASCII 65–90 for uppercase and ASCII 97–122 for lowercase): All letters are sorted alphabetically, and the sorting is case-insensitive. Uppercase letters are sorted as if they are lowercase, which ensures "A" and "a" appear together.
- Final symbols (ASCII 123–127): These come last in the sequence.
Sorting by ASCII may differ from other sorting methods, such as natural order, which might group numbers differently (e.g., “1, 2, 10, 11” rather than “1, 10, 11, 2”). In ASCII order, numbers and letters are sorted based on character values, which may result in what appears to be a different arrangement.
Characters that are not part of the ASCII table, such as emojis or special symbols, are sorted after all ASCII characters.
For further details on ASCII character order, you can consult the ASCII table.
