First real question

[Derek Atkins]

Accounts are sorted by Account Code and then Account Name.

You can move an account in the tree by clicking "Edit" and then
choosing a new parent.  But yes, that only changes the parent,
there is no "move up" or "move down" between siblings because
they are sorted by code and name.
