    You can re-order the columns of your report with the layout editor, Robbie. 🙂


    Once you've got the report set up as you like you can Save as Custom to easily access the report with this layout. 

    If you're like to make this the default layout there is also an option for this - see our help here & here

    Very frustrating that this is not possible. @kelly setting a fixed custom report is fine if you're always comparing to a certain number of periods (i.e. 6 months), but this feature completely lacks flexibility.

    Every stakeholder wanting to see a P&L, Balance Sheet or Cash Flow are expecting dates to be from left to right, allowing the ability to forecast future numbers by simply inserting new columns to the right.

    I can't understand why you would design this backwards.
