The Moneydance side bar is located on the left side of the Moneydance program window.
This makes it easier to see and access information you use frequently.

Order Accounts in the Side Bar -

Accounts in the side bar are grouped by account type (bank, credit card etc.)

Select the account and choose Account > Edit Account.

To move an account up the list, enter a special character (*, #, etc) at the start of the name.
You can enter a number at the start of your account names to order the accounts.
Or start the account name with lowercase letters to move it to the bottom of the list.
