You can select from a list of options as to how the child thoughts are sorted beneath a parent thought in TheBrain. These are by:

Name
Date Created On
Date Last Active
Date Last Modified
Type

The only way to organize them otherwise is to sort by Name and then number them in the order you prefer, which is okay for a small list that you don’t change, but is not practical for a changing or long list. For example, I use numbers to keep the months of the year in proper order in my Day Book section.

One possibly reasonable work around would be to make use of the thought typing. If you are not otherwise using types to classify your thoughts, you could create a series of types simply as numbers, then assign a number type to each thought in the order you want them to appear, as you can sort by type. Since you can only assign one type to a thought, this would not work if you also wanted to use typing for real classification.
