Register Sort Options

Quicken 2018 Premier, Version R4.7, Build 27.1.4.7
Windows 10 Home x64 Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.125)

Doubt if anyone can answer this, but one never knows. I opened Quicken this morning and my account totals reflect the addition of my pension deposit on Monday. It's set up to automatically enter my checking account 3 days in advance. I ran OSU and everything was fine.

I opened my checking account register and the totals reflected the pension deposit, but the transaction was nowhere to be found! It did show in a report of Not Cleared Items, but not in the register. After Validate & Repair, Super Validate, & going through a few more hoops, I found my register sort option had been changed from "by Date" to "by Downloaded posting date". My registers have ALWAYS been sorted by date.

My questions: How does something like this change over night by itself? Anyone else experience anything like this?

From C. D. Bales:



"How does something like this change over night by itself?"



I don't believe it changed "over night": I believe it changed while Quicken was open.



The simplest explanation is that, at some point, you accidentally clicked on the Downloaded Posting Date heading: either on your own, or as a result of the click-thru bug.



[When you run a report to locate a transaction and the report displays the transaction you're looking for, you can just double-click on the transaction in the report and Quicken will take you to that transaction in its register/Transaction List.]
