Other things to think about.  My current account, savings account and 
credit card account all account for the order of transactions in 
slightly different ways.

My bank knows about most regular amounts coming in and going out by 
automated transfer before the actual date and shows this by decreasing 
my available balance which I can see online and at machines.  However if 
I withdraw cash from a bank machine, that is an immediate transaction 
and is recognised to the minute.  How is gnc meant to recognise the cash 
withdrawal as being more imperative that a regular payment or vice 
versa?  What about debit card purchases which often span a weekend here? 
What if there is cash withdrawn with that purchase, are the cash and 
payment elements accounted for differently by the bank?

All these and other elements on one account suggest to me (apart from 
the seriously practical bit of gnc not knowing you took some money from 
a machine) that your credits before debits, even if implemented, would 
only work for a limited number of accounts in a limited number of 
countries with a limited number of banks, etc.

If *you* are ordering your cr before dr and your bank doesn't care 
(you'd know if it did) then why do you care what order gnc does them in 
except for "that is what I am used to Quicken doing" ?
