Reordering transactions

[Luiz Carlos da Costa Junior]

Hi Daniel and Derek,

Thanks for your comments.

Once the transactions appear in more than one account and there is only one
number for the entire transaction (and not a number per split), I bet that I
won't be able to create a "numeration system" that keeps all the
transactions in the right order in all accounts.

The only way I see is to use the time as a number, so the pair "Date
Posted/NUM" (actually, "Date Posted/Time") will be unique and will sort
correctly all transactions over all accounts.

But this is an user choice and now I know how to use the field NUM, that use
to be useless to me until now.

Best regards,
LC
