The other thing that GnuCash does better is with the typical paycheck, that is 
the same every week.  GnuCash offers me the current one and last week's.  
Quicken starts about 4 weeks ago, then goes progressively further away, until 
it reaches some limit, then becomes more reasonable.

Is there some reason why the date is not seen as defining the first choice - 
perhaps some fundamental issue common to both programs?

In answer to Derek's comment, is Daniel's suggestion "better," I would repeat 
what I said before; we each have our preferences.
