Can Quicken 2020 sort charges & credits in dollar descending order when reconciling an account?

I own Quicken 2013 and when reconciling an account, I want to sort the charges and credits in dollar descending order. That way I can easily locate the charge or credit I am looking for that appears on my banks statement. However, the 2013 version has a glitch and does not allow you to sort this way. Nothing was able to solve the issue so I have been working under those conditions with that glitch for 7 yrs. Before I buy 2020 version, I want to ensure it can definitely sort in dollar descending order. Otherwise there is no use buying the new version.

That was very important to know. I didn't realize they no longer allow you to own a version without subscription.
Quicken 2017, does allow the User to sort the Date Field in both directions. That program is not a Subscription product. However, it will convert the data file to 2017 format. But is no longer supported.

Note: Product What's New in Quicken is grayed out.. Also Year is stuck on 2020 and Copyright Date is stuck 2018 in About Quicken.

Ok, you say it can sort date field, but I don't care about date, I want to sort in dollar descending order. Can it definitely do that?

I get that. But that is more a matter of semantics. I meant a license. These days they don't sell licenses any more as I understand it, but only subscriptions.

That was VERY helpful. And in order to get 2018 or above, I have to buy a subscription, right? No licenses available.
You acknowledge that the Products and Services are licensed and not sold. So long as you comply with the terms of this Membership Agreement and any other applicable terms and conditions, you are granted a personal, limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Products and Services during the Membership Term.
You will notice in the second paragraph it explains that the software is "licensed" and NOT "sold".
This used to be covered in the End User License Agreement (EULA) prior to subscription Quicken, but now it is in the Term of Use. Either way, you had to agree to the conditions in the EULA/Terms of Use before you could install and use the Quicken software.

If it wasn't for the fact that Quicken Inc has chosen to put in those terrible ads that take up all that space when the subscription expires, we could state that there is no difference between what was done in the past and is happening now, with the exception of the length of the term for use of the online services.
But the ads are there and they are a major reason why people would reject the new software model.
BTW there are other considerations of going past Quicken 2013.
Quicken 2013 is the last version that didn't require a Quicken Id. Now Quicken Id accounts are free, but if Quicken Inc goes out of business and the servers go away, you will not be able to install Quicken again.
> I can confirm that Q2013 Premier does sort Recon by Amount. I have never reconcilled in Quicken so I went into my Test file and tried it. So any version after 2013 should also.

Thanks, but I have Deluxe and Quicken was never able to resolve my issue after attempts to do so. It's Quicken Deluxe 2013, so I would be willing to upgrade to get the sort on dollar feature that should have been there to begin with.
> Hmmm, I tried it on a credit card account. Looks like when I click the arrow on the Amount column it sorts by Payee! Guess it is a glitch at least in CC account. Are the Payees listed on your statement? That should help find the transaction.
Exactly!! That's what I'm saying.
