About auto-fill: I have half a dozen categories for my grocery shopping, plus cleaning and household utensils that I can buy at the same supermarkets. I shop frequently, and I don’t buy big amounts, so there is a lot of variability. Putting the supermarket name into the initial Memo field bring

David C. answered your question about sorting. And the others chimed in with personal comments on the auto-fill. You can't turn it off, but you can stifle it as noted with an extra character or so, tab over, then shift-tab to correct the extraneous characters. I too find the autofill a massi
