Checklist Sort

An Obsidian plugin that sorts checklists by unchecked items first, while preserving the order of nested items.

Created by Adam Tweedie (profsr-chaos)

Features

  • Sorts checklist items so unchecked items appear at the top and checked items at the bottom
  • Nested items always stay attached to their parent — they are never reordered independently
  • Relative order within each group is preserved
  • Non-checklist content (headings, paragraphs, etc.) is never affected

Usage

Command Palette

  1. Open the command palette with Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on Mac)
  2. Search for "Sort Checklist (unchecked first)"
  3. Press Enter

Hotkey

  1. Go to Settings → Hotkeys
  2. Search for "Sort Checklist"
  3. Assign any keybind you like

Example

Before:

  • Buy groceries
    • [] Milk
  • [] Walk the dog
  • Do laundry

After:

  • [ ]Walk the dog
  • Buy groceries
    • Milk
  • Do laundry
