transaction report with secondary key

I put together a report displaying Income and Expenses per Asset.
(report accounts: various assets, filter accouns: various income +
expense categories)

On the Sorting tab, I chose "Other Account Name" as Secondary Key.
I applied the Easy stylesheet.

I have a few small issues with the resulting report:

1) transactions within the secondary key are not sorted in any
recognizable way. I would expect them in date order.

2) Although the stylesheet distinguishes between sub-heading/total and
subsub-heading/total, only the very first subheading is displayed
against the sub-heading/total background. All other subheadings and
totals (in my case the Asset headings and totals) are on a
sub-sub-heading/total background.

3) It would be great  if the stylesheet had different colours for
sub-heading and sub-total and subsub-heading and subsub-total. As it
is, a subtotal is followed by the next subheading and they both have
the same background. If they had different colours the report would be
easier to read.



Another thing that would be dead useful would be a simple text search
facility within the report. It is not so easy to spot a transaction or
heading you are looking in a big report.


The transaction report is a most useful tool!
