When I look at a list of my invoices, or generate a report of invoices, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to how the invoices are ordered. I can create 5 invoices on one day yet when they show up in a list they are all mixed up, and aren’t ordered by invoice number nor by client. Furthermore, there’s no way to sort the list by either invoice number or by client. It’s really difficult to check these lists against my spreadsheets with this chaotic behavior.

How are invoice lists ordered?

The default order is by due date.

I understand it’s a bit tricky because you can’t sort / reorder them. It’s something we’re aware of.

Seth, thanks for your reply.

Although it might seem to be optimal to order invoices by due date, what happens is that all the invoices that I prepare on a particular day end up being listed in reverse of the order of the invoice numbers. So I end up with an invoice list like this: 0023 0024 0025 0026 0019 0020 0021 0022… and it makes me crazy. So if at some point you can enable column sorting that would make me very happy :-D
