Is there a way to reorder the Accounts in my Chart of Accounts in Quickbooks Online? (i.e., so that I can group my bank and credit card accounts together at the top)

Hello there. tad151.

I can see how important for you and your business to reorder the accounts of your chart of accounts. Currently, this option isn't possible in QuickBooks Online. Instead, you can sort the list in ascending or descending order.

Here's how:

1. Go to Accounting from the sidebar menu, then Chart of Accounts.
2. You can click the NAME, TYPE, DETAIL TYPE, CURRENCY, QUICKBOOKS BALANCE, and BANK BALANCE to sort the lists.
3. Select ↓ to sort it in descending order or ↑ to sort the registers in ascending order.

Alternatively, you can use the account number to organize your chart of accounts. You'll need to enable this feature if you want to assign a number to your accounts. I'll show you how.

1. Go to the Gear icon, then Account and settings.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Edit pencil icon in the Chart of accounts section.
4. Select Enable account numbers. 
5. Hit Save and then Done.

For complete instructions, check out this article: Use account numbers in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

Once everything is in place, you may want to use this resource as a reference for seamlessly matching your accounts: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

Please let me know if you need further assistance managing your chart of accounts. I'd be more than happy to assist you.

We use a workaround.  Simply rename your accounts with a leading exclamation point, then sort the list by name.  We wanted our bank accounts listed first, followed by our credit accounts, so we used 2 leading exclamation points for our bank accounts.  

Our list now looks similar to this:

!!Bank Account 1
!!Bank Account 2
!Credit Account 1
!Credit Account 2
!Credit Account 3
etc
etc

It isnt ideal but it works!

This seems like such a basic feature that makes no sense why QB cannot have this on the online.

We pay an awful lot of money for a product that gets worse and worse every year.
