Show most recent bank account entries at TOP in the bank register view

Thanks for stopping by the QuickBooks Community, @Maverick2. 

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can choose among the options from the Sort by drop-down to sort the order of your bank entries. Also, when manually adding transactions, be sure you entered the correct info, especially the dates. Let me walk you through the steps:

1. Go to the Banking tab and choose Use Register.
2. Select the bank account you need to open.
3. Then, click the Sort by drop-down and select Date and Order Entered.

For more details on sorting your lists in QBDT, check out this article: Re-sort lists in QuickBooks Desktop. 

I'm always here if you have any additional questions or concerns. Have a good one! 

Thanks for your reply, but that does not address the question I asked.

The register window has a line by line list of the transactions.

By default, the most recent transactions are at the bottom of the list within the register window.

I want the most recent transaction to be at the top of the list within the register window.

Can I sort the list of transactions so the most recent are at the top of the register window?

Wrong!  When you log in incognito, the new entry and the latest entries are on the top.  Still can't figure out why I can't when logged in my Chrome.  QB Online is a dumpster fire!  I wish I had never switched from Desktop!!!

Hello there, sk-herefords.

I can see that things have been challenging for you with the format order of the transactions on the Bank register. Let me provide details on how it works in QuickBooks Online and ensure you can view them in the format that you want.

Please keep in mind that the entries on the mentioned page are displayed in ascending order (oldest to latest) by default. However, QuickBooks kept the last order you selected when you last signed into the program. This could be the reason dated entries in the order format aren't displayed in chronological order.

I recommend customizing the Bank register page to ascending format. This is done to ensure that every time you access it, the transactions are organized from the most recent and latest to the oldest. I've added a screenshot below for visual reference.

If the issue persists, having too much cache accumulated in a browser may cause this unexpected behavior using Chrome. This is the reason that the order format works using incognito. With this, you have to clear the cache of your regular browser. This deletes the history or log of sites so you can start with a clean slate. 

In case you need steps on how you can remove columns or edit entries within the Bank register, you can read this article: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers in QuickBooks Online.

Please know that the Community is always ready to back you up if you need more help managing your transactions in the Bank register. I'll keep the thread open so you can comment back, sk-herefords.

I was having the same issue and I think I found the solution. In the register, above the Balance column, click the gear icon (next to Print and Export, not the one at the top of the page next to your user icon); you'll see checkboxes for two categories: Columns and Other. Under Other, if Paper Ledger Mode is checked, uncheck it. Exit the register and go back in and see if it fixed the problem. It worked for me!

You are completely AWESOME!  I have 20-30 companies under my QBOA account, and some of my clients had it one way, some the other and this drove me nuts for the longest time!  This is so great to know!  REALLY - THANKS FOR SHARING!
