Retirement tax questions

For the past several years I've suggested an alpha sort option for the ONLINE version. Nothing was fixed. I have 27 individual 1099s. Just for the heck of it (wasted my time again) I tried putting them in the alpha order I wanted , ie ascending collating sequence. The appl put it in the order of entry BUT reversed the order. For those not computer literate, that means Stock A entered first, Stock B entered second. The report shows Stock B on top followed by Stock A,. So, I deleted the small amount previously entered, reversed the order and what did it do? It put it in the same order as above. I give up. Not too cool to look at a report where the sort order is exactly backwards.
