In Goals in Base Facts, what is the default ordering?

• A. Default ordered chronologically
• B. Default by amount
• C. Default alphabetically
• D. Default by risk rating

Answer: (A)

Sorting by date keeps goals arranged in the order they matter for planning and progress. Each goal has a target date, and listing them chronologically shows what’s due soonest, what needs attention next, and how today’s contributions affect near-term deadlines. This time-based view supports effective cash-flow planning and helps you prioritize actions.

Sorting by amount would highlight larger goals, which can distract from timing. Sorting by risk rating would push goals by perceived risk rather than by when action is needed. Alphabetical order would be arbitrary and not aligned with planning timelines. While other sorts can be useful in specific situations, the default chronologic order best matches how you actually manage and monitor goals over time.
