Sorting Options?

TTSguy

I just now noticed that when sorting options are selected (for me: By Date / Date Entered), it seems logical to me that if you're looking at Sort Options for one account, that you probably would use that same selection for another or all the other accounts also.

I've posted before about that setting changing on me and not understanding why, Now I know why. It's because that setting can be adjusted for each account seperately. Is there really a need to set one differently than another? Does "anyone" change that setting by account, rather than register preference?

 When I do change it, I'd prefer to see that same setting for all my accounts be the same  without having to go through and change that setting for each. Does anyone have that set set differently for each of their aaccounts?

This would usually be the case if I was using it to reconcile by my FI Bank statement (Date/Order Entered). I would think, being able to toggle for all accounts, or for individual accounts could be a real benefit. Anyone else?

I set my main checking accounts to sort by Clr Status.  Other cash accounts (less used) are by date; but one is by date/Order entered.  CC accounts are by date.  (Some might prefer downloaded posting date there.) 

The main checking account or a cc account I might from time to time sort by other factors (Payee, Amount, Category), if I am searching for something.  I wouldn't want that to spill over to other accounts even temporarily.

I suppose you could have some "Apply to all registers" selection, but I don't see that as very worthwhile.  I pretty much get mine set as I want and then forget it.   

I think there is more demand for a secondary sort ability - First be 'date', then by amount, or check number, or payee, for example.
