Hello info-peacechrist,

 

It's great to have join the Community! when it comes to creating and tracking accounts, QuickBooks is the go-to program that helps you bring your financials into perspective with ease. I'll be glad to share more info so you're on the track. 

 

At this time, there isn't a way to customize the order of your Chart of Accounts. I can see how beneficial this feature would be to your and your business and I encourage you to send feedback about this to our engineers. You can send feedback by clicking the Gear icon and looking for Feedback.

 

In the meantime, you can manually rearrange your Chart of Accounts by clicking on the heading NAME, TYPE, DETAIL TYPE, TAX RATE, QUICKBOOKS BALANCE, BANK BALANCE, and ACTION. By clicking on the heading, you'll be able to rearrange how your accounts appear. In case you're looking to filter your accounts using account numbers, I encourage you to check out this article that provides more info: Use account numbers in your chart of accounts

 

Let me know if the info above helps. I'll be on standby in case you need additional support.
