How do I keep transactions in the order they were reconciled?

Question

As I reconcile transactions, Quicken places in apparently random order within the date. I'd like to keep transactions in the same order as I have reconciled them. When the order of reconciled transactions is changed, it's very difficult to match the numbers with what the bank/credit card company report shows.

Hi @Mark1104

Just to be clear - during the reconciliation process, you have two options: a) sort the unreconciled transactions by transaction date, or b) sort the unreconciled transactions by posting date.

Once you have completed the reconciliation process, you have various sorting options - that are not limited to the “top line of the transaction register”  here's the list of register sorting options:

I am not sure that these will get you where you want to go, but pay attention especially to he last two.  Another possible option would be to repurpose a field (like the memo field) for your purposes.

Thanks Mark. I've done this, but I'm looking for something that won't change the order of the transactions after I've reconciled them.
