Can I get the accounts in all drop down lists to be in alphabetical order?

I recognize how important it is for you to easily locate the correct accounts for transactions, AILD1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can use the sorting feature in the Chart of Accounts to help organize and find your accounts more easily. Although this doesn't exactly change the order in which accounts appear in dropdown menus during transaction entries, it can help you view your accounts in a more orderly fashion when managing them.

Here's how you can sort your accounts in the Chart of Accounts:

1. Go to the Transactions tab.
2. Select on Chart of Accounts.
3. At the top of the account list, you will find different headers such as Name, Type, Detail Type, etc.
4. Click on the Name header to sort accounts alphabetically by name. You can toggle between ascending and descending order by clicking on the header again.

Using the sort feature is beneficial for managing and reviewing your accounts more efficiently, especially if you have a large list where finding specific accounts can be challenging. Remember, the order you set here is specific to your current session and view, and it might revert back once you log out or switch tasks.

Additionally, to view and analyze financial data that most relevant to your business needs, you can use a customizing reports in QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, after tailored the report to your preferences, you can save these customizations in QuickBooks Online.
