Investments - Buying and Selling on the Same Day

I sometimes buy and sell a stock on the same day using Fidelity as the
broker. When I download the information the next day, Money Plus
consistently enters the transactions in the wrong order. The sell
order is entered first. Since there are no shares, Money Plus always
adds additional shares, then enters the sell order, followed by the
buy order. So I need to correct the transactions manually by changing
the buy date to a day earlier and deleting the added shares. Is there
any other way to handle this. Quicken 2008 handles the transactions
in the correct order.

Enter the Buy into the register manually before accepting the Sell.
Match it to the downloaded Buy during processing the download.
