Check Numbers Not in Order on Bank Detail

I print checks weekly and when I view the bank register/transaction detail (sorted by date - the default option) the checks are not in sequential order by check number. I know I have the option to sort by "Num" however the report will no longer be sorted by date. 

 

This makes zero sense. Why wouldn't the register default also have the check numbers in order along with the date?  

 

I've been told several things that do not provide solutions. To sort the report  by "Num" this is not helpful because I need it sorted date. I've been told it's not in order because it's sorted by the time created. Even when 4 checks are printed on the same exact time, the check numbers are still not sequential. 

 

PLEASE HELP SOMEONE.

Check Numbers Not in Order on Bank Detail

Hello there, @cmedina.

 

I understand your dissatisfaction with the un-sequenced checks in QuickBooks Online. I'm here to shed some light on the situation.

 

We can only sequence checks by date or check number. However, we're unable to sequence both because it will  depend on the check processing.

 

For now, these are the two options we can choose in sorting out checks. 

 

Here's an article you can read to learn more about writing a check: Create, modify, and print checks.

 

I've got a link here that provides you with articles about memorizing a check: Create an automatic recurring payment (check) to a vendor.

 

Please let me know if you need further clarification about this, or if there's anything else I can do for you. I'll be standing by for your response.

How do I get my register to show checks by check number? If I print multiple checks throughout same day the check numbers are all out of order on my printed out register.
