The arrows next to DATE and TRANSACTION in QuickBooks Self-Employed are used for sorting in either ascending or descending order, @thebestdaysofyourlife.
You can click the arrow once or twice, depending on how you want to sort the DATE. You can choose either from the oldest to the latest or the latest to the oldest transactions. For the TRANSACTION, you can also choose to sort it in alphabetical order. From A to Z or Z to A.
From the Transactions page, do you have a specific detail in mind that you want to see about the transaction that is not displayed? Currently, you can already see all the details of the transactions such as the Date, Transaction type, amount and category.. You don't have to expand each of them.
