Suggestion: Sort UNPAID INVOICES by invoice date
« on: 22/September/2007, 10:01:24 AM »
The current INVOICES summary screen has a function (tick box) that "Show ALL unpaid invoices regardless of date". Very handy tool.

However, I would like to be able to sort the list by invoice date, so that I know which ones are most overdue etc.

So maybe, 2 tick boxes will be helpful:

[ ] Sort unpaid invoices by invoice no.
[ ] Sort unpaid invoices by invoice date

For most people, invoice numbers are ordered chronologically, so it is the same thing. nBill allocates invoice numbers sequentially, so unless you allocate your own invoice numbers in a different order, or issue invoices and change the dates, you will get them in date order.

However, ordering the lists by the different columns is on the to-do list, albeit with a fairly low priority.

That is true once automatic renewal is in place.

However, because we are migrating customers to nBill, it is NOT the case. So it is somewhat annoying from a new nBill user's point of view to not be able to view at a glance which customers are most overdue and thus require "reminding".
