Hi there, AhnieM. 

 

Thanks for stopping by the Community this afternoon, it is possible to sort your Chart of Accounts by account numbers and in a few easy steps you can be on your way to do so.

 

Step 1: Turn on account numbers:

 

The account numbers feature is off by default. Here’s how to turn it on.

  1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Account and Settings.
  2. Select the Advanced tab.
  3. Select Edit ✎ in the Chart of accounts section.
  4. Select Enable account numbers. If you want account numbers to show on reports and transactions, select Show account numbers.
  5. Select Save and then Done.

Step 2: Assign account numbers:

 

Want ideas for how to number your accounts?

  1. Go to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select Batch edit in the Action column.
  3. Add account numbers in the Number column.
  4. Once you’re done, select Save.

To see your accounts’ numbers, go to the Chart of Accounts. Select the Gear icon at the top of the list (not on the navigation bar) in the Action column. Then, select Number.

Now you can spend less time looking for specific accounts in Chart of Accounts or when adding transactions. Quickly find accounts using the numbers you assigned to them.

 

You can find these steps and more information in the following article: Use account numbers in your chart of accounts.  Thanks again for stopping by and have a nice day.
