One way to change the ordering of notes is to assign colors of varying  
brightness to each of your notes.

E.g.
1) highlight a note,
2) select menu>tools>show colors,
3) select a color (HSB slider controls work well),
4) close the color menu,
5) click the untitled header above the color swatches in the notes  
pane to re-order the notes

The obvious difficulty with this approach is that you have to manage  
the colors manually.  This is cumbersome for one page, let alone the  
whole document.  And unless you only use one type of note (text,  
anchored, circle, box, etc.) , color-sorting will arrange these  
various note types in blocks of the same type.

In summary, it can be done!  ... but it's unlikely that anyone would  
commonly use this approach.
