Ongoing issue sorting in reports

20202

I see this seems to have been an ongoing issue now for several years, but I thought I'd bring it up again.

If I create a report, let's say INCOME by PAYEE, I can see a report that is sorted by PAYEE. I don't want to see the PAYEE individual entrees, just the totals. But I want it sorted by $ amount, so my largest income source is listed at the top. I want to only see the PAYEE names and amounts in a single line.

As far as I can see, I can't do that. I can sort the individual entries when I use the Sort-By-Amount caret at the top of the report. But I can't create a report with the largest income source at the top.

Or can I?
Thanks!

You could create the Summary report by Payee, click Export, and sort by amount in any spreadsheet program. I know that's extra steps… but it's a way to get the result you want.

Thanks jacobs.
I can also skim over the report and get a rough idea. But I create a report, close all the detail lines to see each individual payee, and there's a non-functioning caret on the top on my columns. So it's on Quicken to either remove the caret, or actually make it functional . . .
