How to reorder highlights in Preview according to page numbers

highlightspdfpreview

I read a book, while reading it, I highlighted some parts of the text. Now, in the side bar, when I choose the highlights and notes option, I see the highlights shown in random order, i.e the highlights are not in the same order as the pages. I would like all highlights in page x to come before page y, if x < y. How to do this?

It's been like that since El Capitan. Your best bet for now is testing out other PDF viewers.

The good news is that it supposedly is fixed in Big Sur: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/jjhrfz/is_the_issue_of_preview_showing_highlights_and/
