When sorting same day Investment transactions, all opening transactions should come first

veegee

Currently, Quicken sorts the same day transactions in this order:

Buy, Sell, Sell-Short, Cover-Short

Presumably, Quicken does this to show 'opening' transactions (such as buy) before closing transactions (such as a sell).

However, a Sell-Short is an opening transaction (opening = beginning transaction of a trade)

Hence the correct order to show transactions is:

Buy, Sell-Short, [followed by] Sell, Cover-short.

This should be a very low effort, quickly fixable enhancement for Quicken to make (swapping 2 entries in a list used for the sorting). (Sorry, my 30+ years of software development experience does show sometimes.)

Please check with your investment experts to know that what I am saying is correct.
