Reordering transactions

[Luiz Carlos da Costa Junior]

Hi Derek,

Since your post, I've been using a string that identifies the date as: HH:MM
(hour:minute) in the NUM field but I realized that GnuCash doesn't sort by
the NUM field correctly in case of alphanumeric data. For example, for the
same date it sorts Transaction 1 with NUM = 22:10 before Transaction 2 with
NUM = 22:00 just because Transaction 1 was created before.

Have you already noticed such behavior or is it expected?

Thanks,
LC
