Description

When opening the app fresh, some of the titles don't match the contents of the note.

### Expected
I open the app and click on Shopping List. The Shopping List note opens.

### Observed
I open the app and click on Shopping List, but this time a note opens.

### Reproduced
Haven't been able to catch the specifics, but I wonder if's something to do with syncing? I suspect the app is pulling any updates to notes from the server, but hasn't been able to finish pulling the new order of titles. Or it has pulled them, but doesn't refresh the list.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mismatch after a fresh launch, then compare note titles and contents while syncing completes. The issue suggests checking whether note updates or the refreshed list order are applied; done means selecting a title consistently opens the matching note.
