No, accounts are usually grouped logically. Between those if/f Speaker 
Fees, Salmon Cakes, and Stupid Tax all belonged to the same logical 
group (under the same parent).

Was discussing an income amount (when we provide speakers the 
organization for which we provided the program might give us a 
donation). We would NOT have this in alphabetical order between RKO  
income and TBO income. Assuming we received grant money from 
organizations with those names those would be found under a Grant Income 
parent but Speaker Fees isn't grant income.

Note that in the case of the organization described (for which I am 
treasurer) not so many accounts that I bother with account numbers. But 
another organization for which I serve on the finance committee there 
are hundreds of accounts and so a numbering scheme very useful.
