Many people have told me this is their favourite new Notes 6 feature, so let me explain it to those that have yet to discover it.

If you have a list (bulleted, numbered, etc) with several entries and you want to re-arrange the values, instead of cutting and pasting them into a new order, you can move them up or down the list by simply pressing Image:Re-arranging values in a list or cells in a table or Image:Re-arranging values in a list or cells in a table

Try it yourself.   Create a new document in Notes, and create a list with "red, blue, and green."  Place your cursor anywhere on the line that contains "blue", and press CTRL + UP you'll see "blue" move up to be the first entry in the list.   Now press CTRL + DOWN and you'll see "blue" move down the list.

A similar function is available when working with tables.   If you place your cursor in a single cell and press CTRL + UP or CTRL + DOWN, you can move the contents of that specific cell.   If you highlight consecutive horizontal cells, or an entire row, you'll move what you've selected.  The examples below show moving a single cell, two cells, and an entire row.

Note:
You can not move cells left and right using this method.
