if someone has a better synonym for re-work - let me know.

Just like Martha proposed to consolidate our UserVoice votes around notes
with a comprehensive list of changes/suggestions, let's unite our voices to ask
for better Clippings! 

1. Organize clipping files alphabetically
2. Allow clippings from all Logos resources (Bible Word Studies, maps,
   etc)
3. Allow clippings from non-Logos resources (internet, email, etc.) In
   other words, as a MINIMUM allow us to make BLANK clipping within a
   clipping file and paste whatever we want. User can fill in the URL or
   other bibliographical info manually, or (if it is done from the web) it
   can be automatically filled (like OneNote).
4. Add an option that their clippings can be shared OR remain private
   and not uploaded to Logos servers.
5. Allow  importing pictures
   into clippings (I know many view this is a NOTE function, but in my
   paradigm, the raw content goes into a clipping, and my analysis and my
   thoughts of the raw content goes into the note)
6. Ability to search within the clipping file just like in a “normal”
   resource.  Right now search finds
   the clipping FILE containing the search term, which can be buried among
   hundreds of clippings within that file.
7. (I think this is a related issue) allow links to a specific
   clipping, NOT just to the clipping file in general.
8. Add options for sorting Clippings similar to Library pane,
   including option to expand/hide the actual notes
   1. Alphabetically by Resource (this function can be used to view the “user-generated”
      summary of a book)
   2. Alphabetically by author (my own version of “Best quotations of
      XYZ)
   3. Alphabetically by tag (my own version of “Quotations on the topic
      of ABC)
   4. Chronologically by created/last modified date
9. Assign a special user-defined Highlighting style or icon to
   indicate that this selection has been added to a clipping.  Allow to global-search for this highlighting
   style (to find clippings in more than 1 clipping file).
10. Allow clippings themselves to be Highlighted

I am adding this suggestion to UserVoice as soon as I post it here. Here is the link

Does anyone have more suggestions for clippings?

Add an option that their clippings can be shared OR remain private
and not uploaded to Logos servers.

I like your proposal but am afraid that combining two separate functions - sharing and file syncing - into a single item may doom both halves. Sharing is a simple issue that has often been implied as a coming feature. Disabling syncing is a major structural modification.
