textSkimNotes is the text representation of the skim notes, as saved with the
PDF file. It is determined *at saving time* by the Skim text template, so it is
not generated from the Skim notes themselves) by BibDesk. This means that the
sorting is as specified in the Skim text note template (if not the default.)
On the other hand, scriptingSkimNotes is generated from the Skim notes
themselves.

No, you cannot sort those in a template.

No, because (for BibDesk) it is just text, it has no more structure.

It will change the output (from textSkimNotes), but only *after* saving from
Skim, as noted above.
