Standard order question

[Guido Van Hoecke]

Hi Derek,

Good to know, from now on I'll use a sequence number in front of the
quantity in the num field.

I failed to clarify my point. I thought that the 'Date of entry'
order menu choice would result into transactions sorted on
Trans.date_entered, which would result in my desired sort order.
Apparently, there are other criteria too. So I'll stick to the
'Standard order' and use a sequenced mum field value.

Thanks for the promptly supplied info!
