Why is 'Reference' not available as a sort option? If this is because some notes are by selection and others by reference, is this easily fixed (i.e., made where I can sort by reference in canon order)?
Try opening the facet menu on the left of the Notes Tool and click Bible in the Reference section. This will restrict the notes to those that are anchored by reference and you will then be able to sort them.
I don't know what a facet menu is...do you mean the little lines that get me to the filters? and filter by 'Bible'? (see shot below)
If so, this lets me use the reference sort, but hides the notes that are by selection. I want to see them also, if only to fix them. (What an awful implementation, by the way, of the selection vs reference mess that we've had for generations now.)
The frustrating part is, every one of the 'by selection' notes has a verse reference in the anchor, but it won't let me sort by those unless I change the note type, which destroys my highlighting of words or phrases I want to emphasis. [:@]
Yes - that's what I meant. The list of options on the left is know as a facet menu.

I'm not sure I am following you here. In the example below, I have a note I originally created by selection - and there is a highlight associated with it. I then added a By Reference anchor. I can sort by Reference and the note is included. What am I missing in terms of the problem you are seeing?
