Add Title field to Notes

I would like to request the addition of a title field to notes which may or may not be used (as the user's discretion) and should be collapsable (to reduce screen space usage).
As it is, the Notes Tool shows a preview of the opening text in entries but these are not titles per se and are not distinguishable in search results from any other text in the notes.
To be sure, I can use tags to identify topics instead of using titles. But tags are different in function. Tags represent topics that intersect with the content of a note, not necessarily what the main topic of that note is. Moreover, there is advantage to being able to spot visually a note one is looking for in the list of entries in a notebook.
For that matter, did it not used to be possible to arrange notes alphabetically? If so, it would be good to restore that sorting option. This is essential for any note book that not organised (by virtue of its content type) by reference. All my last entries in my Topical Notes notebook are no longer listed alphabetically but only by order created or modified. Not convenient to find that note created 3 months ago.
Lastly, if a title field is implemented, the text entered should be recognized as title or large text (headword?)(whatever works best overall in view of how these work across Logos). These would be more easily searchable. But of course, this also requires some overdue improvements to user documents searches.

I agree this would be very useful.

For that matter, it would be useful if the title field in the sermon editor was also searchable as such. At least, there is no field selection option in the search fields drop down that narrows it down to titles or any other index.

I posted this originally 5 years ago. We keep seeing people wondering how to sort their text-based (not reference-anchored) notes, and there is no good solution aside from tedious workarounds.
@Jason Stone (Logos) could this thread be moved to suggestions please?
