Improve register window scroll positioning when search text box is cleared
I prefer my register sorted with the latest transactions at the bottom of the screen. (i.e. ascending Date order). When I open a register, MD helpfully scrolls to the bottom so the latest transactions are in view. (Yay MD!)
However, when I enter text in the search text box and then subsequently clear it, MD resets the scroll position to the TOP of the window, showing the OLDEST transactions. Which, of course, requires me to grab the scroll bar and drag it back down to where it's supposed to be. I think there's *supposed* to be a keyboard shortcut ⌘ T that scrolls to the current date, but that doesn't seem to work for me.
This behavior probably makes sense for folks who like their latest transactions at the top of the screen. In that case, when opening the register, MD *is* smart enough to show the top of the register (where the newest transactions are) rather than the bottom. But for me, it's just annoying.

Hi,
Thank you for contacting Moneydance support.
When viewing the account register, you could simply click in the 'Date' column header. Click again to toggle between ascending and descending order. Alternatively, you should 'right click' (or press Ctrl and click) on any transaction to view the context menu then choose Choose Sort By > Date Entered. Close and restart Moneydance to retain the change.
Finally, you can refer to this article of the Knowledge Base
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.
