How do I alphabetize sections in OneNote?

[OneNoter]

I have created numerous sections within a folder in OneNote. I would like to
organize them alphabetically without moving each individual folder into
place. Is there a fast way to do this?

If you don't care for sections' color you can blow away the current order(and
color) like this (warning - it's a hack):
1. In Windows Explorer set to show hidden files
2. Close OneNote
3. Navigate to the folder you want sections to be in alphabetical order
4. Delete *.toc file in this folder
5. Boot OneNote
There is no way in UI to do this.

No, you have to do it manually in the current version.

I think Step 1. should be, uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"

That's an interesting workaround. Thanks!

4. Delete *.toc file in this folder

What a great workaround, I am going to try it.!
