While not advertised by Apple, the new iPhone SE also features more RAM. With assistance from developer Moritz Sternemann, MacRumors has confirmed that the third-generation iPhone SE features 4GB of RAM, compared to 3GB...

Hi all!

Does anyone know a way to sort my iOS reminders [in a specific reminders list] alphabetically?

Doesn't have to be by shortcuts, but would be nice! I can't figure it out myself..

In the Reminders app

, you can arrange your reminders in custom lists and groups, view them in automatically organized Smart Lists, and use tags to categorize them. You can easily search all your lists for reminders that contain specific text.

Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available when you use upgraded reminders. Some features aren’t available when using other accounts.

You can organize your reminders into lists and groups of lists such as work, school, or shopping. Do any of the following:

• Create a new list: Tap Add List, choose an account [if you have more than one account], enter a name, then choose a color and symbol for the list.

• Create a group of lists: Tap Edit, tap Add Group, enter a name, then tap Create. Or drag a list onto another list.

• Rearrange lists and groups: Touch and hold a list or group, then drag it to a new location. You can even move a list to a different group.

• Change the name and appearance of a list or group: Swipe left on the list or group, then tap

  .

• Delete a list or group and their reminders: Swipe left on the list or group, then tap

  .

Tags are a fast and flexible way to organize your reminders. You can add one or more tags, such as #shopping and #work, to easily search and filter reminders across your lists.

• Add a tag: When you create or edit a reminder, type # followed by the tag name or choose a tag from the menu above the keyboard. A tag can be only one word, but you can use dashes and underscores to combine words. You can add multiple tags to a reminder.

• View reminders with tags: In the Tag Browser [below your custom lists], tap a tag or All Tags. To filter the list further, tap more tags at the top of the list.

• Make a Smart List: When viewing a list of tagged reminders, tap

  , then tap Create Smart List.

• Rename or delete a tag: In the Tag Browser [below your folders], touch and hold a tag, then tap Rename Tag or Delete Tag.

  When you delete a tag, it’s also removed from all Smart Lists that use it.

Reminders are automatically organized in the default Smart Lists. You can see specific reminders and track upcoming reminders with the following Smart Lists:

• Today: See reminders scheduled for today and overdue reminders.

• Scheduled: See reminders scheduled by date or time.

• Flagged: See reminders with flags.

• Assigned to Me: See reminders assigned to you in shared lists.

• Siri Suggestions: See suggested reminders detected in Mail and Messages.

• All: See all your reminders across every list.

To show, hide, or rearrange the Smart Lists, tap Edit.

You can create your own Smart Lists to automatically include reminders filtered by tags, dates, times, locations, flags, and priority. You can choose more than one tag [such as #gardening and #errands] and combine them with other filters.

• Create a new Smart List: Tap Add List, tap Make into Smart List, choose filters, enter a name, then choose a color and symbol for the list.

• Convert a list to a Smart List: When viewing the list you want to convert, tap

  , tap Show List Info, scroll to the bottom, then tap Convert to Smart List.

  When you convert a list, its items are moved to the top level of the default list and tagged with the name of the Smart List.

  Note: You can’t convert a shared list.

• Sort reminders by due date, creation date, priority, or title: [not available in the All and Scheduled Smart Lists] In a list, tap

  , tap Sort By, then choose an option.

  To reverse the sort order, tap

  , tap Sort By, then choose a different option, such as Newest First.

• Manually reorder reminders in a list: Touch and hold a reminder you want to move, then drag it to a new location.

  The manual order is saved when you re-sort the list by due date, creation date, priority, or title. To revert to the last saved manual order, tap

  , tap Sort By, then tap Manual.

When you sort or reorder a list, the new order is applied to the list on your other devices where you’re using upgraded reminders. If you sort or reorder a shared list, other participants also see the new order [if they use upgraded reminders].

In the search field above the reminder lists, enter a word or phrase.
