Make denote-sort-dired revert to an empty buffer if no matching files
This is discussed with Alan Schmitt and Rory Molinari in issue 618:
<https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/618>.

I am using a bespoke buffer because I cannot find a way to achieve the
same result with a call to (dired (cons DIR FILES)). If that is
possible, then I am happy to switch to it. But this will do for the
time being.

denote: Simple notes with an efficient file-naming scheme

Denote is a simple note-taking tool for Emacs. It is based on the idea that notes should follow a predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme. The file name must offer a clear indication of what the note is about, without reference to any other metadata. Denote basically streamlines the creation of such files while providing facilities to link between them.

Denote's file-naming scheme is not limited to "notes". It can be used for all types of file, including those that are not editable in Emacs, such as videos. Naming files in a consistent way makes their filtering and retrieval considerably easier. Denote provides relevant facilities to rename files, regardless of file type.
