In expense report, why are subcategories not grouped with their main category?

Midwest867

Last year when I printed a year-end expense report, my subcategories were listed alphabetically directly underneath their main category. Now, they are printing by themselves, mixed in with all the other categories. For example, I have a category "Farm Expenses" with subcategories of "Equipment Repair," "Seed," etc. I want to see them all together, not scattered throughout the report. How can this be fixed?

I don't quite understand but I tried to reproduce this but couldn't. It seemed to work as expected for me.

The change you see may be because of recent enhancements made to Reports that are in Early Access. Try turning off "Try New Reports (Beta)" to see if it prints the way you want. If this fixes it, you may want to comment about your situation in the official conversation regarding Enhanced Reports:

Sorry, let me try to explain it better. In last year's Expense Report, the category "Farm Expenses" printed in the following order alphabetically by subcategory:

Farm Expenses: Chemicals

Farm Expenses: Crop Insurance

Farm Expenses: Equipment Repair

Farm Expenses: Fungicide.

The subcategories were all together alphabetically under the main category, so I could see all our Farm Expenses together.

This year, it is alphabetizing by subcategories rather than by category. So I have:

Farm Expenses: Chemicals

Shopping: Clothing

Dining & Drinks: Coffee Shops

Farm Expenses: Crop Insurance

Everything is jumbled together since it is not taking into account the main Category. If I want to see all my Farm Expenses, I have to locate them amongst all the other categories. This is not workable for analyzing my year-end expenses.

It needs to be alphabetized by the Main Category first and then the subcategory secondarily so they all stay together.

I can't understand why they would do it sensibly last year and then not do it this year. It's very frustrating.

I wonder if you are using QBP although its reports ought to be essentially the same.

My Spending Report does show the Categories in Alphabetical Order with the Subcategories also in alphabetical order and subtotaled. In fact, it is beautiful. My only complaint is that it doesn't show the tags as a field.

When I filter for just one category, in this case Automobiles, I get this:

I do wish it showed the tags, because my report would make more sense. Anyhow, sorry I was of no help to you.
