Resorting top-level accounts?

[Kevin Reid]

In my accounts page, there are the usual top-level accounts Assets,  
Equity, Expenses, Income, Liabilities — in that order. Since the  
subaccounts of Income and Expenses are so long compared to Assets and  
Liabilities, and I often want to look at both Asssets and Liabilities  
at the same time, I'd like to change this ordering. Obviously I could  
rename the accounts, but that would make it less straightforward to  
type account names in transactions.

I am thinking to use one of the 'Account Code', 'Description', or  
'Notes' field for a sort key, and sort the accounts page with that.  
I've tested this with Account Code, and it works. I wouldn't want to  
use Description or Notes because then subaccounts with actual  
meaningful text in those fields would end up not being alphabetical by  
name.

Is there any reason I shouldn't do this, or a better way to customize  
the sorting?
