Thank you @AlexV  for the clarification.

The account order seems scrambled when I search the selection list.  For example, I enter a manual check, when I go to select a category some expense accounts are at the top of the list.  Account 7000 is before account 1000.

Thank you

Thanks for coming back to us, @DNietoCPA.

Usually, this issue persists when you experience a browser issue. Let's perform basic troubleshooting steps. There are times when a browser's cache data becomes full of frequently-accessed pages. This could affect the performance of QuickBooks Online.

To better isolate this, let's access your QuickBooks account using a private window. Here are the keyboard shortcuts.

• For Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P.

• For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.

• For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.

Once done, create a check again. If the account number of the expense is in order, let's clear the cache of your browser. This helps remove its stored cache so QuickBooks will function efficiently.

If it didn't work, I'd recommend using different browsers. They'll provide you with the best and most secure experience. For more details, see this article: System Requirements For QBO.

I’ll be here any time if you have other concerns in QuickBooks. Always take care!
