Forcing transaction order

 I am having an issue in which GnuCash is reordering same-dated transactions from their entry order and I cannot get it to restore the proper order. I enter transactions 1, 2, and 3. Upon entering #3, GnuCash moves it above #'s 1 and 2. I have tried entering numbers in the Num field to force the desired order but they are being ignored. I can get the application to resort based off the Num field, but the balances are not recalculated so now they will be jumbled up. I have been very impressed with the application until now. Is there anyway to get it to stop with this insane behavior, to cajole it to retain entry order, or to instruct it to recalculate after a resort? While this behavior does not break my accounting, the resulting order is illogical and causes confusion for the person reviewing the books.

Thanks!
