One thing about the order: Tolino saves annotations in order of creation, but i saw that the plugin re-sort them by page. Is that right? (and I find it very useful) I'm quite sure because there are some notes at the beginning of the book that i took some time later, and in the fetched notes they stay among the others at the beginning. And this could be a little explanation of the wrong order: the plugin can sort by page, but cannot know where the notes stay inside the page (let's say: cannot know the "hierarchy" of the notes), he only knows the date of creation. So the notes took some time later could be wrong-sorted for sure and there's nothing we can do about it.
Anyway, the annotations i took out for you are all in order in the original file, both by page than by "hierarchy", however they are not in the same order in the fetched one.
Given all this, i realized it could be due to the fact some notes has the same hour of creation. Without any other indications, maybe the plugin sort them in other ways (maybe alphabetical?). However, there is a strange fact. If you analyze, for example, the first three annotations, you see they are created at 18.23, 18.23 and 18.25. Instead, in the fetched annotations the ones took at 18.23 come after the one took at 18.25.
Now, after i wrote all this, i made a last important discover: it seems that the book of the annotations i took out for you ("Platone e l'Europa") is the only one with this sorting problem. But I tried to paste here some notes of the other books and in the preview it still put the asterisks in them. So, i attach the original entire notes file (notes.txt) too, if you want to search for some kind of non-display characters in all the annotations.
Thank you for the support
The simple one is the asterisks. That character is a non-breaking space. Something isn't liking it and replacing it with the asterisk. The non-breaking space is expected in the file and handled.

I'm going to come back to the sorting. I'm hoping it is a side effect of the other problem.

For the missing annotations, I cannot reproduce it here. I have changed my epos to Italian in case it was related to that, but, no change. What I have missed asking for is a debug log. Can you run calibre in debug mode and fetch the annotations? There is a lot of debugging output that should show where it is going wrong.

The debug mode is started from the preferences button. Calibre will restart and display a message about the debug log. Connect the device and when the jobs have finished, fetch the annotations. Then close calibre and the debug log will be displayed. Post the full log. Or upload it somewhere and PM the link to me.

It would also be good to see the book. If it legally downloadable somewhere, please post the link. Or again, upload it somewhere and PM me the link.

Lastly, what version of calibre are you running? And OS?
