Ordering of transactions

[Luiz Carlos da Costa Junior]

Hi Tomas,

I had the same problem regarding the order of transactions in gnucash and I
got around this problem by using the number field of each transaction to
store the time of the transaction.

The number field has the limitation of accept just integers, so I use the
format HHMM to store the time and it is working quite well since I started
(I am almost 2 years using this scheme).

We had a discussion about this in the past:
