I am taking a look at the latest Manager-Server version (24.5.20.1554) prior to upgrading.
The business data has been imported from version 23.2.19.653.
When I click at the Bank & Cash Accounts tab the rows appear to be unsorted in the latter version whereas they are sorted in the previous version I have been using.
No problem, I click on the name header and the rows are nicely sorted.
But then if I go to another tab then return to the Bank & Cash Accounts tab, the rows are again unsorted.
I’ve searched the forum but can’t find any relevant posts.
Is there a way of persisting the sort criteria?
I think it’s because you are using Code
field. Bank accounts are sorted by code, then by name. But perhaps you do not have Code
column enabled?
Use Edit Columns
button to enable it.
@Lubos, even though in EDIT COLUMNS one can change the sequence of columns displayed it will not sort on the first column automatically, which would be expected and preferred.
Default sorting order is going to be built-in for performance reasons. You can always create advanced query and have alternative sorting order so it’s there when you need it.
Yes, I would like default sorting to be build in but what is it sorting on?
The built-in sorting is by Code
then Name
and in transactions usually by Date
field.
@Lubos, sorry but it only works on Code. When kept empty it will not sort by Name (try it in Bank & Cash Tab).
I’m not able to reproduce that. Can you please show screenshot demonstrating it?
When enabling code and completing them in a test business you get the sorting correct:
When code is disabled in EDIT COLUMNS then it is still sorting on it and not sorting on Name (cbank should be before Petty cash)
When changing all codes to optional (i.e. removing the numbers) and adding a new bank account (c1Bank) it would put that on top, so not sorting on the name. It looks like it will put any new entry first when no codes given and thus does not sort on Name in absence of code.
Same issue on Customer and Suppliers tab. Even if you dont use Codes they are sorted in some weird way. Then you have to sort it manually everytime.
OK got it. Fixed in the latest version (24.5.20.1557)
It’s fixed, thank you, just checked!
