Option to re-order holdings names in the investment account overview

roko

I’d like to be able to re-order investment account holdings in the account overview to match the order presented in my broker’s statement.

If I use the default order in quicken (alphabetical, a-z or z-a), then I’m paging up/down constantly to find the same holding (whether it be a stock, ETF, mutual fund, etc.) in my broker’s statement. Or, vise-versa if I start with my broker’s statement and compare to Quicken’s listing.

I’d like to be able to have Quicken match the order of listing in my Broker’s statement, as an option, in Quicken’s Account Overview, so that I can go down both the broker’s statement and Quicken’s Account Overview, line-by-line as a verification reconciliation.

This option should be available for each account individually (i.e. set the order in each investment account so that each individual account can have a specific order).

In the pictures below, the first shows Quicken's holdings list order, the second shows Broker's holdings list order.

Have you tried setting the Account Overview so that the ticker symbol is NOT shown in the Name column? This would result in a strictly alphabetical list by Security Name.
(Customize Current View, clear checkmark from "Also show symbols in Name column")

Thank you for the suggestion, however, that would not achieve my goal. It would only arrange the holdings' proper name (as opposed to it's symbol name) in alphabetical order.

As stated, I would like to be able to order the Quicken holdings in the same order as they appear in my broker's statement.

I up voted your suggestion.

Good luck.

Thanks. I returned the favor.

I searched for anything similar, but didn't run across anything. I must not have used useful search keywords.

@roko does your brokerage list or subtotal the holdings in any particular order, by market sector for example?

There is an existing Idea that would permit users to enter that data rather than relying on the categories downloaded with the quote data.

Or currently you can assign an Investing Goal to each security

In either case you can group an Investing > Portfolio view by Industry or Investing Goal and select just the account you are interested in to see your holdings grouped the same way as your brokerage.

Unfortunately there is no agreement among brokerages on these groupings, so if you have multiple brokerages, the groupings may not be the same.

I think it is unlikely that Quicken will be enhanced to allow securities to be grouped or ordered on a per-account basis, [adding] but I see that if you click on the gear at the top right of the Portfolio views or the Account Overview (Holdings) view, there are buttons to move accounts up and down, so maybe they could add similar buttons for the securities.
