Hidden Accounts in apparent random order

blmatthews

If I edit a report and want to include or exclude some accounts that have been closed, I can scroll down to Hidden Accounts, except the list of accounts under Hidden Accounts are in some sort of random order. To find the account(s) I want I have to do a linear search through the accounts. The accounts should be alphabetized by name.

On macOS 12.7.2 and Quicken Classic Deluxe version 7.5.1 (Build 705.51946.100)

Here's an example. The accounts are not sorted by name or by account type; as far as I can tell they aren't sorted by the date they were closed either.

I'm not sure if this is something that changed recently, I don't typically need to edit reports in this fashion. If it used to be sorted & recently stopped sorting, I'd suggest using Report A Problem on the Help menu to bring it to Quicken's attention. If this has always worked like this, then this should probably be turned into a Product Idea as a suggested improvement.

I don't use it often either, but enough it's annoying, particularly around tax time.

I tried submitting this as a New Idea, but under Select a category… Ideas for Mac Classic is disabled and has no subcategories. I'm not sure if that should worry me or not…

@blmatthews Wow, you're right. There's something messed up; I reported it to the moderators to have it looked out.

However, I found there's an easy workaround so you can create an Idea: just navigate to Ideas for Mac Classic, and then click on the appropriate subcategory. Then click the New Idea button. Since you're already in a subcategory, there isn't a dropdown category menu; then just type your idea and post it.

@jacobs Thanks for the workaround, I'll submit this as a New Idea, probably tomorrow.

@jacobs Thanks for the workaround, I'll submit it as a New Idea that way, probably tomorrow.
