The alphabetical sorting of section names and pages within sections doesn't seem to be working for me… any idea how to set it up?

    AFAIK, OneNote allows you to sort pages automatically, but it does not have a built-in button to automatically sort sections. To sort pages, check the top of your page list on the right or left sidebar. Click the Sort icon (it looks like a set of arrows or a small list). Select Alphabetical. Unfortunately sort sections would be done manually. Click and hold the section tab, then drag and drop it into the order you want. As a workaround, you might consider adding numbers or letters to the front of their section names (like "A_Notes" or "01_Projects") .
