Workaround (Solved!!!)

Hey everyone!

I got a bit clunky but easy, functional and once set up fast workaround for this problem: You can just use Obsidian (its free) and open your folder with the .md file as a new vault. Then you have to install and enable the plugin tidy footnotes via settings, community plugins, browse . Then you open your typora file and press ctrl + p to open the command line and run the command tidy footnotes (just type in "tidy" in the search bar and press enter). This will reorder your footnotes properly, save it to your .md file automatically in a few seconds and you can go on writing in Typora. If you have any questions on how to exactly do this feel free to ask. I nonetheless agree that a feature from Typora to do this would be great.
