Question

When adding Mileage manually, the order in which entries are submitted to the system is not in chronological order

I add my mileage manually as I use my Car for Personal trips in and around work (also I don't want yet another app tracking my movements). When I come to add my Trips to the mileage section I will start with the initial journey and proceed chronologically through the day.

 

For instance:

Trip 1 - Home - Client's address.

Trip 2 - Client's address - Meeting location

Trip 3 - Meeting location - Home

 

However, when I add the Trip 1 and then add Trip 2 / Trip 3 directly afterwards, the system often re-orders the entries as follows: (or similar)

 

Trip 2 - Client's address - Meeting location

Trip 1 - Home - Client's address.

Trip 3 - Meeting location - Home

 

I'm hoping you would be able to help with this issue.

 

Thanks,

L

Hi there, @InterspaceMedia!

 

You can click the DATE drop-down button. I'm here to help you accomplish this so you can change the sort order of your trips.

 

To start with, QuickBooks automatically sorts your trips either first to last or last to the first entry.

 

That being said, here's how you can click the date drop-down button to change the order of your trips:

  1. Go to Miles.
  2. Click the date drop-down button.

In addition here's a screenshot for your visual reference.

 

 

Lastly, you can also email or export to MS Excel your list of trips. You can click either Email or Download to do this.

 

It'll always be my pleasure to help you here in the Community if you have any other questions.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for your reply, however this happens on entries that are all on the same date so sorting by Date order doesn't change the outcome.

 

Please see the attached image for clarification.

 

Thanks

Hi there again, InterspaceMedia,

 

I appreciate you getting back to us and providing screenshot.

 

To further isolate the issue, upon viewing the manually added trips, make sure that you're not able to sort trips based on Distance.

 

You can check out the screenshots below for more detailed information:

 

 

 

I'd appreciate if you can update me on how it goes. I'm always here to answer it for you. Have a great day!
