Hi Peter
This is because of two different issues:
1) the Description grouping/sorting was not really enabled in the
previous patch. Try this new one. I think Description grouping/subtotals
is reasonable (e.g. group/subtotals all 'Water Bills', 'Mortgage
Repayments').
2) Primary=Memo will not necessarily sort by the "Memo/Notes" column,
which is a complex display of split->memo, or split->transaction->notes
if memo was blank. Moreover, technically, the default sorter needs to be
disabled and a custom sorter used for Notes sorting. Hence I have
reservations about enabling grouping/subtotals for Notes/Memo.
This version will enable sorting/grouping for all Description, Notes, or
Memo. Seems to work well on mine.
Feedback still welcome!
