What is a "view"? I'm talking about what I see when I double click on
the account. Where the transactions are listed in chronological order.

Let me see if I understand. Say I start with:

                   Increase   Balance
Transaction A      10         10
Transaction B      15         25

Then if I change the dates (say I made a mistake) so that Transaction B
goes first. What should the result look like? I would say:

                   Increase   Balance
Transaction B      15         15
Transaction A      10         25

Is this not what GnuCash does?

Not according to the current dates of the transactions (unless GnuCash
is not showing them chronologically, but it should, that's what it
always does and I haven't told it to do otherwise). I'll go home during
my lunch hour and check the dates, but I'm pretty sure that they are
chronological.

Best,
Daniel.
