There needs to be an option (globally, and on every page that does any sorting) to be able to sort numeric IDs as numbers rather than as characters.

 

Currently IDs sort like this:

 

1

10

11

12

2

20

21

3

30

 

... which kinda misses the point of sorting on IDs, yes?

 

The only way this can currently be worked around is by forcing leading zeros in the ID, but god help you if you get the number of leading zeros wrong:

 

0001

0002

0003

0010

0020

0030

 

We shouldn't be working around the software at all, this is poor UX and makes things like reconciliation far harder than they need to be. I'm getting tired of saying this but Other Accounting Software Just Does This - you need to also.
