I made a NEW QB Mac 2019 desktop company Jan 1st. I brought old accounts and lists from the OLD company. All seems to be OK except that in the Profit and Loss report the numerical accounts are out of order... 4240, 4005, 4007, 4080, 4040, ...

I know there is a quick fix for this problem. Does anyone know the trick?  Julie

To fix the problem, you have to resort  the list of your accounts in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks, then go to the Lists menu.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts from the drop-down.
  3. From your Chart of Accounts, click on the Edit menu, then tap on the Re-sort List tab.
  4. Click OK to confirm the action.

Once completed run your Profit and Loss report and your accounts will now be arranged in the correct numerical order.

 

For additional reference, read this article and scroll down to the Re-sort lists for QuickBooks for Mac (applies to US only) section: Re-sort lists.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm a few clicks away to help. Have a good day!

Hi Angela,

I'm on QBO Advanced but don't seem to have that option.  Am I able to set up the P&L in account number order?
