You can affect the order of the accounts by assigning an order code 
to it.  Select any account, then either: click the Edit button,
right-click and select Edit Accounts, or hit Ctrl-e to bring up the 
Account Editing dialog box.  In the top portion of the box under 
Account Information, the last line, labelled 'Account Code:' allows 
you to enter a numeric code for the account.

At first it will appear as if nothing happened, you have to go 
through and edit all your accounts and then close gnucash and restart 
to see the ordering take affect.

Yeah, that might be nice, though I kind of like *not* having this 
action.  I have a horrible tendancy of clicking and dragging when I 
only mean to click and "move on".  In gtt, this often results in a 
crash :(  Fortunately I have not experienced this in GnuCash :)
