It could be great if we could pinned notes and then display its title on top of all folders and tags in the menu at left.

That way we could access them without searching it nor following the path of folders or tags.

For example, I never have any loyalty card in my pocket, but I could find the loyalty card number to provide it when needed :)

1. What if you already have one pinned item and pin another one? Will the second, new, pinned item be as second pinned item, under the previously pinned, or as first?
2. Should option to pin be in note context menu (right-click on note)?
3. When you unpin the note, should it be sorted by your default settings (date creation, modification, etc.)?

Just my 2cents here.

1. What if you already have one pinned item and pin another one? Will the second, new, pinned item be as second pinned item, under the previously pinned, or as first?

Easy answer: Sort it like the normal list.

2. Should option to pin be in note context menu (right-click on note)?

Good idea.

3. When you unpin the note, should it be sorted by your default settings (date creation, modification, etc.)?

Sure. I would sort it normally then.

Nothing new to add other than this would be a very helpful feature. If I could pin at least one note to be the first item in a notebook regardless of sort order it significantly increase my productivity within Joplin. Hopefully this will be considered in a future release. Thanks for creating and continuing to improve this application.

@esa1975 For now, you can convert note to a to-do. This will keep the note (now to-do) at the top.

This is still a relevant one. For example, I have a couple of To-do notes and I want to keep two of them on the top always. However, it is always sorted automatically.

Pinned notes are not to be sorted. They just stay on top on the order they were pinned.

Just to add one thing,

1. Sort the pinned notes on the order they are pinned. When you are pinning a second one, it goes to the top. This allows bypassing the sorting which is useful sometimes.
