Actually there is more than one place where you see a list of accounts. 
You see it when you are in the Edit Account window (select parent 
account), when you are selecting an account in a transaction/split, when 
you are selecting an account to match an imported QIF/OFX/QFX 
transaction. These "utility" lists of accounts seem to come up 
alphabetical for me. I'd be pretty surprised (but pleasantly) if these 
followed the arbitrary sort order of the main accounts window.
