![]() I think this could be very valuable in a Zettelkasten system. However, along the same lines of discussion, there is an ordering in the way we visit notes, creating one (or many) linear narratives throughout. The moment our notes cease to be tree-like in structure and become a graph (possibly containing cycles), we can no longer have any top-down structure. I would have my doubts about trying to impose any global order on the notes through their IDs. Personally, I find Luhmann's indexing method to be deeply tied to the physical nature of the index cards he used - a form of clustering information together to aid browsing. ability to highlight important notes, as it would help to maintain the zettelkasten and makes sorting easier.would be great, if I could define for every notebook if it lists notes by date, title or individual order.automatically insert and update links between neighbour-notes (front & follow-up), then linear subject strands would be connected to the hypertext (visible in the link graph for example).ability to arrange notes in a specific, visible order. ![]() Therefore nice zettelkasten-features would be: At the moment I work with leading numbers/letters before the note-title to get a safe subject related and/or hierarchical order. That's crucial for classic, famous examples like the zettelkasten by Niklas Luhmann too. For my use cases the potential of a zettelkasten unfolds, when it can "oscillate" between a linear and a hypertext structure. On the other hand at the moment it is more of a problem to realize the static-linear side of my zettelkasten than to build its hypertext, as the schemes for sorting are only date, title and the basic individual order, which could be upgraded in some way for example. The link-features you mentioned sound very helpfull too. Existing plugins like quick-link, backlink or the visual graph plugin already help a lot. I use Joplin partly for a zettelkasten-system.
