Agreed, this is absurd. QuickBooks, it doesn't hurt anyone to expedite this. It doesn't mess anything up. It gives BASIC ******* functionality to folks who need quick re-orientation. It's halfway despicable to insist people use a third party program to open up a spreadsheet exported by your program JUST to be able to Sort.

WTF? Seems there's no shortage of trying to upsell me on added functionality, but when there's some completely obvious thing I need we have to wait in the lurch while you pretend software engineers are sweating over a few lines of code.

Going to start looking for other solutions, I'm no longer a fan of McQuickBooks. This example is but one of many little teensie features that seem odd to be eschewed from user access.  Two thumbs down.
