totals and subtotals to appear at the end of transactions

how to have all totals and subtotals for items show at the end, not at the beginning

On reports?  They changed that many years ago and nobody liked it.  I'm finally used to it.  Kind of makes sense.  You see the total then you can expand or collapse the detail items for it.

Thank you for responding. As a retired Accountant as well as Math teacher, this makes absolutely no sense. Not a happy camper. I used Quick Books for years, but really didn't need anything with payroll, so I switched. As I said, so far after using Quicken, I am not happy with this product.

I think Quicken does that on reports where you can collapse the categories so you can see the subtotals when the details are collapsed. 

Some reports work differently. For example the Itemized Categories report has the subtotals at the top but the similar Income and Expense by Category report has them at the bottom.

I prefer it this way.  When collapsed, since the amount is on the same line as payee/category and requires no reformatting of the information when the detail is hidden, so it shows more subtotals/total on a screen without having to regenerate.

It may not be what we are used to, but it is a cleaner process IMHO.

Only cleaner for on screen use but for readability and convention, it is not. But one reason this was done is for easier programming...one design for screen and print with this feature to collapse. But flies in the face of convention used by financial reports everywhere, including accountants.
