How do I sort brokerage transactions by date

brokerage transactions are not sorted by date. How do I sort them?

J_Mike

Click the Name column header to sort by Date (and Security).

You should see a "^" symbol in the column header field to indicate which column is being used ion the sort.

@J_Mike Ah, yes, I hadn't noticed the sort order icon is blocked in the screenshot provided. Sorting by a different column heading would definitely product out-of-date-order lots in this view.

Easy... click the Date column header. Click it again to reverse the sort order.

I'm looking at a specific fund from the Portfolio window. There is no date column.

if you look at the left side you'll see the part of quicken that pertains to this post. I didnt to show all of my investments on the forum so i opened another window to cover the rest of the account info

here's a better screenshot. you can see that the dates on the left are in a random order

I don't see random order, but I do see one 12/7/18 transaction out of order. That's odd; all the transactions in my portfolio show the lots in order.

Can you go to the transaction register of the account that contains that transaction on 12/7/18 to see if there's anything unusual about it (e.g. it's not a placeholder transaction). If you change the date of that transaction temporarily, and then look at your portfolio view, does it pop into correct chronological order?
