Ordering my Accounts?

J Mc

You used to be able to personalize the order of your accounts. For example, I like to order my credit card accounts by the date my payment is due to make sure I have enough cash on hand. Is this still possible.

Thank you.

@J Mc You actually can re-order your accounts within an account group. So reordering your credit cards in a non-alphabetical order is do-able. The trick is to add a numerical prefix to the account names. It could be 1, 2,3… or it could be your actual due dates in the month, like this:

03-Citi Visa
11-Hilton Amex
17-Chase Visa
24-Citi AA Mastercard

I use numerical prefixes so my most frequently-used cards are first, followed by store cards and infrequently-used cards.

Thanks, Jacobs. That’s a great idea for a workaround. I appreciate the response.
