Ability For User To Specify Custom Sort Order

[reachalex]

Hello Team,
I was thinking is it possible for a user to set the sort order as per his preference.
Sometimes, I may need to sort by Date and Last Updated, other times I may need to sort by Date and Withdrawal Amount or Sort by Date and ID.

So, is there a way I can custom choose what I sort by?

Alex.

.
you can sort each column by clicking on the header row

Do you know maybe how to sort by Date/Number? For me it is only possible to sort by Number/Date which is quite useless. I'm using version 1.8

Hi,

I would like this feature as well. Every single colum can be sorted in any way as I want with the exception od "Date". Every time that I add "Date" as a sorting column, it automatically set the second column as "Id"

For example, my goal is to sort it the columns "Date" and than "Number"

When I click on the ID column, it is sorted by ID and date.
If I click on Date, it sorts by date and ID.
What is your problem

[ricardoeder]

Hi Renato,

I want to sort by Date and anything else that is not "ID", for example, "Date" and "Number" (like I wrote in my first post) or "Date" and "Status".

Hi,

Is there any news regarding my question?

Also, the ordering does not work properly since I have it ordered by Date and ID which means that for the 9th of January, the red highlighted transaction should be the last one since it has a greater ID than the others.

As I have already written, you can sort by two different columns, for example Category / Notes or Payee / Category or Category / Payee .......

If that is not enough for you, then I would make a request at https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... issues/new?

Hi Renato,

So you are basically saying two things regarding my last posts.

1) It is not posible to search by two columns when one of them is Date and the second one is NOT id, correct? Is there any reason for this limitation?

2) what about the bug that I just posted? the columns should be ordered by Date and Id but they are not.

Cheers,

Hallo Ricardo

Ich möchte darauf hinweisen, dass das Forum eigentlich gedacht ist für "Benutzer helfen Benutzern".
In meinem Job als Moderator des Forums versuche ich zu helfen, wenn ich kann.
Ich habe keine Funktion als Entwickler.

Zu Punkt 1) Ihre Annahme ist falsch, klicken Sie doch mal auf Zahlungsempfänger und dann auf Datum.
Zu Punkt 2) Ihr Screenshot ist unleserlich

[ricardoeder]

I have no idea why you replied to me in German but OK, I used google translate and this is what I got as translation of your answers

On point 1) your assumption is wrong, just click on the payee and then on the date.
On point 2) your screenshot is illegible

I don't know if you are replying to this without testing it or maybe you have a different version than me (and in your version, it works - I have 1.8.1). I also don't know why you keep changing the name of the column that I want to order by (I never mentioned "Payee").

Anyway, if I do exactly what you wrote, I get this
1) Initially, I have it ordered by "Date" and "Id"
2) I click in Payee and the ordering changes to "Payee" and "Date"
3) If I click again in "Date", is changes back to "Date" and "ID"

My goal, as I said in my first post, is to have it ordered by "Date" as the first criteria and "Number" (or ANY other column, it does not matter, it could be even "Payee")

I cannot see ANY way of having transactions order FIRST BY "Date" and after by ANY other column which is NOT "ID"

Regarding point 2, I don't know what else I can do, I added as attachment and in my computer it is legible.

I didn't know that you are not a developer of MMEX and I am sorry that I misinterpreted your role here. As you recommended, I created two tickets in github
