  Currently, transactions listed on a particular day are listed in alphabetical order. It would be nice to be able to right-click on some empty space on a day (same place you left-click to create a transaction), and have some sorting options. Alphabetical, of course, should be the default, but sorting by the transaction amount would also be extremely helpful, too (since that’s how my bank sorts everything).
  I wouldn’t care how this is implemented, to be honest… sorting “sticks” until the next login, sorting is permanently saved per-day, sorting is a global setting only… as long as it gets added, it would make my life just a little bit easier. :)
  Also, when sorting by amount, I would be in favor of it separating out by transaction type… for example, let’s say you had the following transactions on a particular day:
  Sorted alphabetically:
  withdrawal
  deposit
  transfer:
  Account Transfer: $200
- Birthday Money: $20
- Grocery Store: ($150)
- Movie: ($10)
- Paycheck: $500
- Phone Bill: ($50)
- Taco Bell: ($5)
- Tax Refund: $100
- Water Bill: ($100)
- Savings Deposit: ($200)
- Tax Refund: $100
- Birthday Money: $20
- Taco Bell: ($5)
- Movie: ($10)
- Phone Bill: ($50)
- Water Bill: ($100)
- Grocery Store: ($150)
- Account Transfer: $200
- Savings Deposit: ($200)

User Suggestions for Sorting Features

The community's feedback highlights the desire for specific sorting features that cater to varying user needs. Suggestions such as the ability to filter transactions by date range, transaction type, or even custom tags can enhance the functionality of CalendarBudget.

By integrating user suggestions, CalendarBudget can foster a more engaging environment where users feel their needs are heard and addressed. This can lead to increased satisfaction and retention, as users find the tool more aligned with their personal budgeting strategies.

How Sorting Transactions Improves Budgeting

Sorting transactions effectively can streamline the budgeting process, making it easier for users to track their finances. When users can view their transactions in a meaningful order, such as by amount or type, it becomes simpler to identify trends and make necessary adjustments to their budgets.

This capability not only enhances usability but also empowers users to take control of their financial health. For example, seeing a list of the largest expenses at a glance can prompt users to reconsider their spending habits and prioritize savings.

Features like customizable sorting options and visual data representations, such as graphs or charts based on sorted data, could provide users with deeper insights into their financial behavior.
