[GNC-dev] Budgets: Sort accounts by code

[Robert Fewell]

Kevin,
The current version is 4.2, soon to be 4.3 and in that version there is
already an option to show the code column and description with either being
sorted.
Also on the toolbar is 'All Periods' and with an account selected will
populate all cells for that account with a value.
You do not say what OS you are using but maybe you should think about
upgrading?

Regards,
Bob
