Manual journals - wrap titles in search menu and option to rearrange columns
The new menu format makes it necessary to scroll across to see ANY details for journals with long titles, instead of being able to see everything at a glance. Either wrap the titles by default or give us a toggle option to do so.
Maybe this is just me, but I preferred having 'Description' first, followed by Account/Debit/Credit etc. when creating or reviewing a journal. If the new layout must be the default going forward, at least give us the option to rearrange columns as we can for Reports.
TIA.

I would also add it isn't necessary for the 'New Manual Journal entry' to occupy the entire page. Frankly, it's annoying. It was more helpful to retain the navigation pane/tabs at the top of the page for easier navigation.

Jonathan - this is a pretty easy fix for a web developer, see my July 9 comments and screenshot here: https://productideas.xero.com/forums/967133-reports-tax/suggestions/50964163-manual-journals-journal-entry-number-listed#comments
The deeper issue is why this system doesn't index descriptions for lines in manual journals ... this would make 'search' the best option and lead to shorter titles.
here's hoping Xero cares enough to do either, or BOTH!
