Sort transactions by date within a day

[GT-I9070 H]

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your attention!

The vast majority of my transactions are written in GNUCash Android and
imported into GNUCash Desktop. In GNUAndroid transactions are sorted by
date and time. I write when I realize that, so I have my updated balance
and know in advance when I need to perform a new withdrawal without
counting my money which is not always all in my wallet. That to me is
important because I know how much foreign currency I have available and for
me, a withdrawal is an exchange.

When I import these transactions for GNUDesktop they change order within a
day and sometimes appear negative balances which does not reflect reality.
This is because within a day it may happen that the withdrawal be after
expenses which in reality I first made the withdrawal and after expenses.

Best Regards
GTI
