First I would like to make it clear that in the first post  I asked: IF IT
WAS POSSIBLE and not I WANT.

No. It would add the time in the Date field that already exists to be used
for ordering purposes.

No. With the field above we do not need be able to read this field.

3. You want to be able to sort transactions using this field.

Yes.  With the field above (Nº 1).

4. You want to have a dedicated field which holds the location at which the

Yes.

Maybe.

I know this and have thought of all these alternatives. Maybe you could
help persuade a dev to help us, or you do not like these improvements ???

Yes.
