But today I discovered https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89439 with an alternative view, that Date Entered should be Time Entered, and that there should be an optional column in the register to show the time. That suggests an alternative solution to the problem while adding a sorting option for transactions.

When entering a txn, why not just default to the local (pc) date and
time, and allow the user to edit it?

Some txns I'd like to be the current date/time, but others I'd like to
change backwards either the date and/or the time.
