A custom script developed by Alessandro Melandri (@AleMelandri) to reorder Notable (https://notable.md) notes in folders matching Notebooks tags.

Place it in your Notable home folder, run it and enjoy.

I'm not connected to Notable developers. I wrote this script for my personal use. It can containt bugs and cause data loss

***** TAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR NOTES BEFORE USING THIS SCRIPT *****

***** USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK *****

Feel free to adapt or modify it.
