Barclays Bank app now only showing DD and STO in Alphabetical Order

Am I the ony one who finds this new format useless?

The old list - in date of payment order was so easy. I could see at a glance when the next DD or STO would be paid from my account. This new format means I have to use a calendar on another page with the dots representing the debits.

    You can from the Regular Payments Calendar (the thing with the dots). I only remember the Periodic Payments List being alphabetical or when the last payment was which doesn't help you to know when the next payment is as they'd actually be in the middle of the list as the ones that collected yesterday were at the top and the ones that haven't collected for months at the bottom. The new calendar makes it much easier.
  • The old list was in date of payment order. Most recent at the top. I find the calendar time consuming as I have to open each dot, instead of a quick tot up down the list.

    Sounds like a different use case. 

    Your original post stated you could see who'd be paid next easier... that wasnt true because it showed who'd be paid last at the top and your next to be paid one was somewhere in the middle but you needed to know the frequency etc (accepting most are once a calendar month). In the new world you only need to look at the next dot.

    It was easiest to find the oldest paid one if you wanted to cull them before the automatic 2 year deletion as they'd all be at the bottom. 

    I'm not sure what use case you are actually referring to? I think the calendar is very useful for the original use case of next payment(s), especially if you are looking at those happening between now and payday as you can see its 1 or 12 dots quickly. I dont understand why the list cannot just be resorted by name or last paid though personally mainly used that to find old/expired DDs
