High Interest Chart Sorting Order | Site suggestions | Discussion forum

I notice the GIC chart's table is defaulted to sort descending, which, I think, is what most people would want - we want to see the highest. But, the savings chart sorts ascending, by default - would it be better to sort this the same as the GIC? High-to-low?

Thanks.  

I appreciate the suggestion, but I would strongly oppose this suggested change to the default sortation of the HISA chart. The GIC chart is sorted in order from highest to lowest on the 5-year GIC rate. This is fine, though I'd prefer it use the 1-year GIC rate as the sort column.

The HISA chart also includes TFSA rates, which don't always match the HISA rate. Thus, it's sorted alphabetically, from A-to-Z, by Bank/Credit Union name. If you want to sort by highest rate to lowest rate, it is a single click. If you want to see the lowest rate, it is perhaps two clicks. Not onerous.

Cheers,
Doug

I like it in alphabetical order, as it’s easy to find a given FI.  

I just like that the site is available and the data is here. I don't care what order it's in, I will be deal with whatever way it's pre-sorted.

Peter does a great job and I appreciate it and won't complain because he could pull the plug at any moment.

But that's just my opinion

Thanks GICinvestor and Doug for pointing that out. I had not noticed that.

+1. Okay, thanks. Yes, in this case, I also like it as is for the above reasons. I'd prefer the GIC chart's default sort column was the 1-year GIC rate, but that's a personal preference. I wouldn't request a change over that...unless others also preferred the default sort order for the GIC chart to use the 1-year instead of 5-year. 😉

I agree, leave it alone. Newbies may not be familiar with its features.

5 taps you get to see the highest rate/term.
