Cash Coding - Improve sorting and sort logic
Improve the sorting functionality within the Cash Coding screen to sort by Account. When I review the transactions (esp ones that have rules) it's difficult to assess if they've been categorized correctly and might need changes.
Additional ask would be to improve the sort logic that already exists. When you sort by Description it should show A-Z and then blanks at the bottom, or Z-A with blanks at the start. But you can see in the screenshot it's sorted by Description but one transaction is floating in the middle of blanks...why?

Hi everyone! thank you so much for taking the time to share your idea with us! We really appreciate you flagging that the sorting function on cash coding isn't quite sorting the blanks first, but instead is just going straight from ascending to descending by date (or vice versa). We are moving this idea over now so it can gather more support from the rest of the community. Please feel free to share it with any of your peers who would also love to see this feature implemented.
We'll be keeping a close eye on this space in the meantime. Thanks again for your valuable input.

I'd love for a basic search to be available for the Cash Coding screen, similar to what they added for the Reconciliation screen.
Some banks import description in a way that the default alphanumeric sorting ability just doesn't work for productivity:
- EFTPOS 27/11 SQ* Minnie's Bakery
I can't quickly sort and get all the "Minnie's Bakery" entries together, so Cash Coding is effectively useless for clients where the bank imports like this.

Add the ability to sort by Account. This is helpful when reviewing transactions in bulk to double check that rules have been applied correctly.
Also improve the logic currently used to sort. It should sort A-Z followed by blanks OR start with blanks and then follow Z-A. In the screenshot you'll see I'm sorting on Description but it has sorted the transactions by Date first and THEN Description, leading to a sort view that isn't helpful.
