I made changes to the chart of accounts and now one of the accounts does not show on the statement of functional expenses.   Why? how do I fix it?

I figured it out for the account to show but can't figure out how to sort the expenses by account number on the report.  They do not print in numerical order

Greetings, @Annette C.

 

It's nice to have you in the Community. I'd be happy to help share some information about sorting reports by account numbers in numerical order.  

 

QuickBooks re-sorts lists based on the first three digits of the Item or Account number. If you have multiple accounts or items listed, your Chart of Accounts or Item List may be out of order numerically.

 

If your business process requires account numbers to be sorted in order, a possible workaround is to have a 1 to 3-digit number prefixed to each item or account number. For example: 01-100, 02-1010, 03-10000.

 

Another option is to change the order manually. Just click the diamond icon before the account number, then drag it where you want it. However you arrange them, it will automatically change in your reports.

 

After that, you'll be able to print the report with the account numbers in order. Also, I'm adding this article for additional reference: Understand QuickBooks Chart of Accounts.
