Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I love the app and am very grateful for it. I apologise if this has already been covered somewhere or I missed the setting... However, I'm always frustrated when date sorts include groups, like 'yesterday', 'last week' etc. I don't need that, and it uses up valuable screen space. It solves a problem that didn't exist, for me... It's even a bit 'Microsoft-esque', as in, a 'helpful' feature added without an option to remove. Please provide an option to remove the grouping. Again, if I have missed the setting for this, then I shall fall on my sword!

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to remove grouping on date sort.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Only other sort options are alphanumeric (which includes grouping for letters, but not numbers - perhaps an option for this sort too, would be appreciated by those who like alphanumeric sort...)

Research direction

The payload identifies no file or test. Start by locating the Android note-list sorting implementation and its date-grouping logic, then determine where a user setting belongs. Done means date sorting can be used without date groups while the existing grouped behavior remains available; add or update tests if coverage exists.
