Hello,
Am using Quicken H&B 2007. A few weeks ago, new accounts that I added stopped appearing in alphabetical order on the account bar. They are just all added at the bottom of their respective categories. I know I can rearrange them manually. But that is quite a bit of work (moving each account up through the others to it's proper place).
Does anyone know how I can get Quicken to resume adding them to the account bar in alphabetical order?
TIA
No.
Please ignore my response, LT. It was meant for another thread.
It looks to me that Quicken thinks you've rearranged accounts and they should stay that way (ie, you've overridden the default of alphabetical sort). Unfortunately, I don't know how to get it back. I suspect it is an registry setting, but can't help you any further.
Fred,
Many thanks for your effort. Interesting idea. But I don't believe that it is in the registry because I copied the data files to another PC where I have installed Quicken and the problem is the same. Also, I have 2 other files that don't have this problem. So, I believe that it is a setting that got changed in this file rather than the program or the registry.
But again, thank you for you input.

Hi, LT.
I don't use H&B, so I'm only making a wild guess, but...
In some part of Windows (such as Favorites), there is a Sort by Name option on the right-click menu. Clicking this does what it says. But if we add items later, they go to the bottom of the list. But we can Sort by Name again whenever we like, and the whole list gets alphabetized again. Without having to fiddle with the Registry. ; Fred,
Hi RC,
Ahh, I wish it was that simple. There are no features of that nature on the right-click-menu.
Quicken Home & Business (H&B) has the same layout as other versions of Quicken.
But thank you for trying.

The behavior I remember, and just verified on H&B 2008, but I think it is applicable to all versions is this:
1) When you add a bunch of new accounts, they are all alphabetized at the bottom of the appropriate category. 2) If you exit Quicken and re-enter, any new accounts appear at the very bottom.HTH, Bob

Thing is: Over the years I have added dozens of accounts. They have always gone into their proper alphabetical order. This only stopped a few weeks ago. There must be a way to get things back to "normal".
