Post subject:  AutoFill - return to previous functionality

I've noticed a change to Autofill that I would like to reverse to the previous functionality.

For the Description field, AutoFill used to default to the most recently used Description associated with my typing.

For example, let's say I pay several employees each week. When I begin to enter in Joe's name, after a few characters, AutoFill completes his name. Brilliant.

I hit enter and the Category AutoFills to "Salary". Again brilliant.

I hit AutoFill again and want to be more specific and descriptive about the salary in the Description field. In the past, I would begin typing "Salary - Week 15" and it would default to "Salary - Week 14" - the most recently associated Description field (i.e. from the previous week). This wasn't a problem as I didn't expect Checkbook Pro to read my mind, and I would simply edit the Description field to say "Salary - Week 15".

From this point forward, however, for all the other employee salary entries that week, the default would now be the most recent entry: "Salary - Week 15". That was great because I wouldn't have to edit each description individually until the following week when I would have to edit the first one to "Salary - Week 16", and all the other entries would follow suit.

The functionality seems to have changed recently, however. Now, instead of defaulting to the most recently used Description field that matches the typing, the AutoFill feature seems to default to the the entry that is alphabetically first among the Descriptions that match the first few letter of typing.

As an example, the AutoFill now will always default to "Salary - Week 01" all year long, instead of defaulting to the most recently used Description. Since I keep track of a lot of incoming and outgoing payments this way, the previous functionality was better for me. Is there a way to reinstate it?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We'll definitely go back to that previous functionality for the Description AutoComplete feature in the next version.
