Deposits before Withdrawals

It would be nice to have deposits come before withdrawals on the transaction register, I looked if this was suggested before but nothing came up, thanks.

Oh, I think this has come up many times in here though I'm not sure if it's a formal "idea."

The dead-simple way to make this work is to enter your deposits and payments manually when you make them, setting your sorting to by "Date/Order Entered" and then making sure that deposits are entered first.  (This really is "best practices" in my opinion, with subsequent downloads from the bank confirming your manual entries.)

If your desire is to have Quicken basically do your accounting for you via downloads from the bank, then that would require some massaging of that information by Quicken as I'd guess the information coming from different banks could be in any order at all.  That could be an idea to post in

or vote on if it's already there.

The deposits are fixed and in my reoccurring transactions, its not a big deal, but when you have multiple transactions for day that a reoccurring deposit goes in I just have to look at the previous and next day balances to ensure I am ok. If I had enough excess money this would not be an issue. I guess thats why people with money hardly every check their accounts.
