No, you will have to manually sort them in Excel b4 loading into 'Add Stock' window

This trade also showed up on my radar. Met Life's AIG purchase blew me off. If the market believes strategic buy will immediately start increasing acquirer's EPS, the stock can take off. This happened with a UK stock recently - HFL.L, where the stock ran up 20% after they bought up Nationwide...
