    Hi team, appreciate not exactly what's being asked here but to confirm what's available at present. 

    In the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss you can now show Account code through the More option. From here, use the layout editor to drag & drop accounts to the order you'd like. 

    Once set up deselect the option to show Account code and your ordering will remain while the codes are not shown within the report. 

    You can also Save as custom so you can then access this layout anytime you need. 

    To go deeper with the insights for our team here, it's be good to know the specific reports you're wanting to see this feature in.

    I'm surprised it isn't an automatic feature. Existing report formats allow sorting by Account Name or Account Code, so I would expect it to be a standard feature everywhere. Alphabetizing looks professional but sometimes Account Code is appropriate for other reasons - give users the functionality to decide what works best for them.
