Go to 'Profiles' and ensure the only profile listed ('AutoShare Process Text Text Processor: SortA') is enabled. You'll find you have a new project listed on the project bar - press it to select. Tasker should then import the project with no error messages. Navigate to where you've downloaded the 'Keep_' file (probably the 'Download' folder) and select 'Keep_Sorter'. In the popup menu which appears, select 'Import Project'. Long press the home icon at the bottom left of the screen. Press the 'Download Now' button to download 'Keep_' Leave all other settings at their defaults.īack out of AutoShare to save the changes.

Select an Icon from the list (it can be anything - I chose the AutoShare icon from the 'App Icons' list) Name the Text Processor 'SortA' (to match the profile in the Tasker project, of course you can use any name you like if you edit the project to suit). Press the '+' button in the upper right hand corner to add a new processor. You'll get a message saying 'processing text' and after a couple of seconds you'll find your list is sorted. Press the three vertical dots to the right of the Share menu and select 'AutoShare' (or if running Android 11 and later, select 'AutoShare' from the 'Share' pop-up menu). To use, open a previously saved list in Google Keep Notes, remove any check boxes and then do a select all. Within Tasker ensure the 'AutoShare Process Text Text Processor: SortA' profile is enabled and (hopefully) that's the set up done. Import the Google Keep Notes Sorter project. Install AutoShare Create a Text processor (called 'SortA', with timeout set to 5 secs (the default)), back out of AutoShare to save. So if the Text Processor method doesn't work for you, please try the alternative 'Google Keep Notes Sorter - Autoshare Command' Instead of passing the sorted text back to Google Keep, the Command method passes it to the clipboard so you'll now have to re-highlight the unsorted text and paste over it with the contents of the clipboard.

The only way I found which worked uses the Autoshare Command method rather than the Text Processor method. Note: As of August 2021, the Autoshare Text Processor method used here stopped working for me - for some reason the 'sorter' task doesn't run when the profile is triggered. I'm running Android 10, Tasker 5.9.2 and AutoShare v2.1.1 Please try it out on a copy of the note you want to sort before trying it out on the real thing, although if it does something unwanted, you can always recover your note by pressing the anticlockwise arrow beneath the mangled note. Please note I accept no responsibility for deleted/corrupted/mangled notes. A link to the Stack Overflow page is given within the code. The sorting is performed by one line of javascript - the previous version could only sort alphabetically but thanks to those nice folks at Stack Overflow, the code can now sort alphanumerically and treats upper and lower cases appropriately. It only works on text with no tick boxes (you can't do a 'select all' with tick boxes visible as this will only select that one item). This is a very simplistic use of AutoShare and Tasker within Android to overcome the irritating omission from Google Keep Notes of an alphabetic sort facility.
