I love Mint... I'm a new user from Citizens Bank, which is working fine.

Frustration for me- I have several budgets set up that appear on the overview page. I can't figure out how they are ordered- they seem to order in chronological order to when I created them, but not exactly- perhaps when I edit them?

I think it would be very useful to be able to order your budgets on the page, to put them in an order that makes the most sense to the user. Biggest ones on top... order them by when you expect them to hit during the month... order similar budgets together... at the moment the usability of these is kinda poor, and hard to read your budgets.

If reordering the budget items is possible, I'd love to know how. Obviously I can delete and recreate in order, but that's wasteful exercise.

Thanks,

Many Spears

The budget categories on the overview tab are prioritized in decending order from the highest amonut to the lowest.

There have been numerous requests to allow the users to prioritize the budget categories but today there is no method.

In the future we are hoping that Mint will allow for income budget categories in which case the expenses and income categories should be separate.

Personally, I would prefer the categories listed in the budget simply be alphabetized. That makes the most sense.
