How do I manually rearrange the chart of accounts? ( Not sort)

Hi there, everyone.

Thank you for posting in the Community. I'd be happy to help share another option to rearrange the Chart of Accounts manually.

Here's how:

1. At the top menu, select Lists.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Highlight the account you want to move.
4. Using the left mouse button, press and hold the account and drag it to the desired place.

Don't sweat it, @salehaambrin. I'm here to help you reorder your list.

You'll get the error message when trying to reorder your accounts in a flat view. You'll have to switch to the Hierarchical View option. This way, you can move or drag a list element. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Lists menu and then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Below the chart of accounts window, click the Account button.
3. Select Hierarchical View.
4. Click Yes to confirm.
