However, I did notice something odd.  If I move the account code column 
to the far left, the triangle symbols for the account tree stay on the 
left instead of moving over with the account name, then everything gets 
scrambled and returning the account code column to the original position 
and trying to re-sort by description or account number fails.  I will 
try closing the program, but it takes a long time to re-open on this 
machine.  I am still using release 2.6.5 on this machine.
