I need the ablity to sort the sections and if my OneNote keeps growing like
it is I will soon need to be able to sort the section groups as well. I
would like to sort them by alphabetically and by date last modified. I agree
it would also be a wonderful addition if it were possible to make certain
sections sticky.

A great example of a senario where the ablity to sort the sections would be
extremly useful is the OneNote Podcast "A Writer's Guide: Poetry Notes with
OneNote".

Since the author in the Podcast Uses a new section for each poem...the more
she writes the more she NEEDS to sort the sections!
