When there are multiple notes on a page, the newest is at the bottom.
How can I reverse this order so the newest is on top?

Ordering of your notes can be accomplished by changing the file mod_cnotes/helper.php .
Change lines 23-25 from
$query->select('*')->from('#__cnotes_notes')
->where('created_by = ' . $db->quote($user->id))
->where('url = ' . $db->quote(self::getUrl()));

to
$query->select('*')->from('#__cnotes_notes')
->where('created_by = ' . $db->quote($user->id))
->where('url = ' . $db->quote(self::getUrl()))
->order('id DESC');


Only drawback: the new ordering only will be visible after a 'hard' page refresh, so not immediately after adding a new note.

Thanks for the pointer.
I had already done the equivalent by traversing the list using [color=#bb0000]array_reverse[/color] when writing the on-page notes list.
This has the same behavior as changing the query, including that a new note is not at the top until revisiting the page.
in .../modules/mod_cnotes/tmpl/default.php

...
<div class="cnotes-notes">
<?php if (count($items)) : ?>
<?php $items = array_reverse( $items ); ?>
<?php foreach ($items as $item) : ?>
<div>
<span class="title">
<a href="/<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_cnotes&task=note.edit&id=' . $item->id); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</span>
<?php echo $item->note; ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<span class="cnotes-nothing">
<?php echo JText::_('MOD_CNOTES_NO_NOTES'); ?>
</span>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
...


I have made several other changes including a bug fix on the page that writes out all your notes:
components/com_cnotes/views/notes/tmpl/default.php

On that page, I removed an extra ">" that was showing up as a list of one ">" per note and I did some better column headings.

I know this is a free module that was done in a class. Is there a way to submit changes to it?
