sorting investment transactions ascending (latest trans at the bottom) yields incorrect results.

Question

Ascending sort by date investment transactions, latest investment transactions displays at the bottom, which is fine.  However, it sorts it by "date" then by "Action" descending, then by  "security" ascending.  Say for 4/22/2022,  it displays all "sold", followed by "buy" for the day.  Then "security" ascending.  This happened right after the last update applied to the software.  Prior to update, it sorts by date timestamp entered, which should be the case.

I often receive several dividends and corresponding Buys on the money market sweep fund on the same day. I like to accept the downloaded transactions and have them displayed in the transaction list as Div - Buy - Div -Buy, so that the cash balance is zero after each pair.

Hopefully that is still possible with R40.13.

According to the Release Notes for the R 40.13 update, this is a planned change.
I would have thought that listing Sell transactions first, to put money into the account, then listing Buy transactions later would make more sense than listing them just simply by date, strictly in order as downloaded from the brokerage.
Would you tell me why this change is causing you problems?
