In TC is there a way we can arrange the options pricing page with Calls on the left and Puts on the right.

so when you are looking at the strike price you woudl be able to see the Call prices on the left of that strike price and Put prices on the right 

The way I have it now all Calls are on top and Puts are all te way down

You could open two option chain windows with one set to call only and the other set to puts only.

I understand but you can only scroll up and down one page at a time 

I need to have then in sink so as I am scrolling up and down it will do both Calls and Puts

I do not have a workaround. Thank you for your suggestion.

Can I categorize them by strike price instead of expiration 

Meaning if I like to compare the prices of the $50 strike for the next 8 expirations can I somehow see them grouped together

If you add Option Strike Price as a WatchList Column you can use it as a sort.

This actually does what I asked for in my original question. Because once you sort by strike price it puts the Calls and Puts with the same strike price right on top of one another. 

Thanks 

But what I am asking in my 2nd question is placing the prices of the same strike price for the next 4 expiration months on top of one another 

For ex If I am only interested in the $50 strike, I like to quickly compare the premiums for the next 4 months with each other  

So the list will look something like this 

Jan 2019 50 Calls

Feb 2019 50 Calls

Mar 2019 50 Calls 

Apr 2019 50 Calls

Sort it by Strike Price and select Calls Only instead of Calls & Puts? I really don't have any other suggestions.

I understand. That would work if I can combine Jan, Feb, Mar options on one page. Can I somehow do that? 

then I can select Calls only and sort by strike price. 

that way it would list the same strike price options but diff expiration months on top of one another

I only trade stocks and not options, but won't you get all of the calls you want on the same page if you increase the Days and Strikes settings?
