Add option to sort Accounts by Name in Quicken for Mac (71 Legacy Votes)

Add option to sort account registers by name only, without the categories.
There are times when that is more practical than listing accounts by types.
P.S. I have about 180 accounts, almost 100 are active, so this feature would be helpful.

Ideally, it should be drag-and-drop.
Also allow sorting by Balance (like in QM2007).

I have seen this suggestion for earlier versions of Qmac. Provide the ability to drag up and down and drop account names in the Sidebar to reorder them as desired, just as is possible in Q for Windows. As of Qmac v. 5.5.3 they are displayed in the appropriate group, but listed in alphanumerical order only. The capability is already there to use the cursor to drag the account names up and down, but they do not stay in the desired location.

personally don't want to see 'zBankofOfA..Checkin...' and 'bBankOfB..Checking..' that would annoy me to no end..
Of course, this does not address the desire for custom groups of accounts.

Intuit? Feature request?
I think the addition of manual account grouping would be a great feature to implement in Quicken and so have updated this post to an "Idea" instead of a Question thread.
The Idea threads are reviewed directly by Development for insight on what new features and functionality our Users would like to see in the program and can be voted on by other Users in the Community. The more votes an Idea receives, the higher it is prioritized for possible implementation in the future.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this great Idea and encourage you to browse through other Ideas posted by Users in the Community and add your vote to the Ideas you'd like to see implemented.
Thank you!
Sarah

Users with a large number of accounts (such as myself) would find this far more useful than the current grouping by account type.
Count not update

I found a few duplicates on this topic and have merged the different threads together.
There were 2 existing votes that came with the merge and show in the voting area. I also manually edited the title to include the remaining 3 new votes for this feature in the legacy total.
Thank you,

I need custom groupings which can contain accounts of any type, I cannot use Quicken without them.
Note: I could not find a user manual, so I contacted support on several occasions with a list of questions regarding the application. At least twice when I asked about creating custom groups, I was told by different support it's not possible due to the limitation of Mac Operating System. I just wanted to let the Quicken staff know that's NOT true. I'm also testing a competitor's product. That app give the user the ability to do exactly what I would like to see in Quicken. I'm surprised this feature is not already incorporated.
Here's the good news/bad news part. You're not the first to ask for this, and over in this Idea thread, the developers have marked "Planned" on a request to allow sorting account by name. They wrote: "We are currently investigating account list customization options, however, these options may be more like enabling custom groupings rather than an alphabetical ‘sort’." Since that's exactly what you're asking for, the good news is the developers have said this is something they're planning to implement. The only bad news: we have no idea how soon this feature will show up.
In Q For Mac, I'm used to drag and drop for ordering (such as Transactions).
Wouldn't that satisfy any user's desired ordering?
