Appreciate your feedback on how you use invoicing and the benefit you find in being able to approve and view the next invoice in sequential invoice number order. As we continue to plan further developments within this space, our product teams would like to engage you all here to get a better sense of our invoicing users for future improvements. We’d find your feedback invaluable and if you’d be interested in sharing with us, please fill in our survey here.

I raised this with "Customer Support" & their response was laughable but sad.
<This is working as currently designed, but we've passed your feedback to the Product team for their review. . . In the meantime, the only current workaround for your desired behavior is using classic invoicing. Alternatively, if you approved draft invoices from newest to oldest rather than the reverse, new invoicing should carry through that sequence in order.>In other words continue with something we are going to withdraw in couple of months or stand the world on its head & rise your invoices in reverse chronological order - SERIOUSLY?
My suggestion is to allow the user to select the Order of "Next" as sorted in the Drafts listing. Thus if somebody really must work backwards in time they can & the rest of us can work the way we NEED to & Not the way some spawny-eyed-spotty-faced programmer "decided".

Hi community, we value there are many different aspects within new invoicing where our invoicing users can see small changes to flows and actions could make a big difference to your workflow and experience.
I can assure you we’re engaged, we’re listening and we’re taking all your feedback into consideration as we keep building on new invoicing.
While we’ll continue to keep you updated on specific releases that relate to things that’ve been mentioned in this idea, our teams have also begun some research to get a deepened sense of our invoicing users for future improvements. We’d like to connect with you all in this idea, and invite you to share further feedback through our survey. Your insights will be invaluable to the team as they continue to plan and prioritise in this space.

You still have Approve & Next running in REVERSE Chronological Order!
This is so perverse. Why can't the order be taken from the Sort order in the Drafts View - that way if you really do want to process the invoices backwards, you can. But at least the rest of the world can keep working normally !!!PLEASE PLEASE DON'T STOP US FROM USING CLASSIC UNTIL THIS IS FIXED - IT'S CRITICAL .

Default Settings should be stored in the User Login Profile along side the Permissions assigned to the user for each company. These "Defaults" should include what the user wants as the default action for ANY Dropdown Button. EG. New Invoicing: Adding Billable Expenses - Add items SEPARATELY rather than as ONE. This used to be 2x buttons now it's a Dropdown Button with the wrong default 99% of the time. Same goes for New Invoicing Approval Button - Approval & Next or Submit for Approval & Next instead of Approve & Email. AND Next should be picked from the sort order in the Drafts Listing - Thus Chronoligical Order would be possible!

Hi community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
- Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
- Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
- Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
- Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.

As Posted other other threads: the answer is as follows:
Default Settings should be stored in the User Login Profile along side the Permissions assigned to the user for each company. These "Defaults" should include what the user wants as the default action for ANY Dropdown Button. EG. New Invoicing: Adding Billable Expenses - Add items SEPARATELY rather than as ONE. This used to be 2x buttons now it's a Dropdown Button with the wrong default 99% of the time. The same goes for New Invoicing Approval Button - Approval & Next or Submit for Approval & Next instead of Approve & Email. AND Next should be picked from the sort order in the Drafts Listing - Thus Chronoligical Order would be possible! (Or any order for that matter!)
By separating all these into different threads - the weight of sentiment is lost. Furthermore, once User Defaults are included in the User Login Profile - everyone gets to work they need to and are not forced to do anything that makes their job anymore difficult. The solution to this problem - done properly solves 10's or even 100's of problems. And the system is easily extendable if you ever try to make "improvements" again.

Appreciate your feedback on how you'd like to see new invoicing improved to create more efficiency processing sales with Xero. There are a couple of different requests around defaults looped into this one idea that would be good to unpick and keep separate so we can keep you updated on any progress for each individually.
For interest around being able to set a default for the 'Approve and Send' button - There's an idea that's been started for this here that I'd recommend joining.
Kathy, your recent comment sounds more like the ability to be able to send invoices to a contact group with new invoicing - we totally get the interest in this too and have an idea for this here that you can follow.
Taking on board feedback we have made a change with the new send experience so now, selections for 'Include PDF of invoice' and 'Send…An error occurred while saving the comment Nigel Harper

Thanks to everyone that participated in and shared back on the team’s research in the new invoicing layout. Taking your feedback on board our teams have made some improvements to the layout of new invoicing, including changes to the layout of fields and buttons.
By rearranging and condensing space between fields, you’ll find there is less white space than previously shown, making it easier to navigate and tab through fields when entering your invoices.We’re actively looking into changes within the invoicing grid that’ll go further to condensing information on the screen and reducing actions when entering your invoices. We’ll update as there is more information to share on this.

I got notification this morning (25/02/25) that this was now implemented & working.
Sorry - it NOT!
New Invoicing: Approve & Next STILL working in Reverse Chronological Order.
Just use the Sort Order that the user selects in the Drafts Screen - that way were can each have the Order we NEED.
