How can I alphabetize a list in Apple Notes on iPhone?

I am not tech savvy and I do not understand all the terms used when I tried the iPhone user guide to get an answer.

In Notes: Seems you would need to drag and drop the items to get a list into alphabetical order.


Although i don't know how reliable it is:

There's a website that claims to put a list into alphabetical order: https://alphabeticallyordered.com/

It did fine with a list of 20 items


If you want, you could try it out for yourself : ie: copy your list, paste it on the website.

Then copy the result, and paste it in the note to replace the original list.


Else: You can request Apple to include this feature in Notes, and wait and see: ie: as long as you don't want to clam the credit for it. (The feedback form allows for feature requests when you get to "feedback type")
