QWin: Allow reordering of split lines in transaction entry dialog (8 Legacy Votes)

UKR

There's an Idea posted for the Mac version of Quicken suggesting to allow reordering of split lines in register transactions.
See here for reference: https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/qm2017-allow-reordering-of-split-entries

I think, the same applies to the Windows version of Quicken.
It would certainly be helpful if one could move a Split line entry up or down in the dialog or somehow reorder the sequence of existing split lines. Drag and drop, as suggested for the Mac version, would certainly be a plus.

If you are reading this and would like to see this enhancement in a future version of Quicken, please click the VOTE button on this webpage.

How about being able to sort by the columns in your the split window, like category or memo?

Yes I would like to be able to reorder categories. The list of categories within some entries (such as credit cards) gets to be quite long. As time passes, some categories are no longer used. Would like to be able to delete one without leaving a space and/or resort. The name of a category sometimes changes. I would like to have them listed in alphabetical order.

To make things easier for working with credit card statements in Quicken I recommend you create a Quicken account register for each credit card account you have.
Then, in each register you record the credit card purchases individually and categorize them as needed, with our without splits: Groceries, Clothing, etc.
When it comes time to pay the credit card every month, you set up a Scheduled Reminder as a simple transfer from the Checking account to the credit card account. No complicated fiddling with a multiple Split categories transaction needed.
