current entries on register don't show at top of list but at bottom.

I have a register where I record dividends reinvested from a stock. In Jan I took the next four quarters dividend in cash and was sent four checks. The type I used was "dividend Income" and entered amount in amount. then I transferred the amount using "miscellaneous" to my checking account. Both of those entries stayed at the bottom of the list instead of moving up to the top of the register where they belong. How do I get them up there?

What "list" are you looking at?  Your investment account register?

To sort the order of transactions in any Q account, you click on the column header for that account.

The current "sort order" will be symbolized by an arrowhead in that column header, and the direction of the sort is indicated by the direction that the arrowhead is pointing.

To get your register to sort in date order, click on the DATE column header.

I don't know what your response "body is required "means.

RIGHT ON. BUT NOW MY QUESTION IS WHY HAS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES CHANGED FROM A INCREASED TOTAL TO JUST THE AMOUNT OF THIS TRANSACTION.

re: your number of shares question, look for "Placeholder" transactions in the account.

A placeholder is generated by Q to bring your shares in the Q account into agreement with the # of shares that your brokerage says you have.  It, basically, means that your account is out of balance and requires effort on your part to reconcile the transactions.

To view Placeholder transactions, click EDIT, Preferences, Investment Transactions, Show Hidden transactions.
