Ordering Transactions on same date

I too would be interested in the mystery solution.

Personally I use the 24hour time without a separator—e.g. 5:32pm becomes 1732.

To distinguish times from other numbers I use “T” at the end, thus: 1732T

However, this breaks if there are actual numbers to enter like from a check. I have so few of those, it isn’t an issue, mileage may vary for others.

Unfortunately, you can’t combine times with other numbers because any non-numeric character causes GC to stop sorting. So you can’t put hyphens or spaces to separate times from other types of transaction numbers.

It would be nice if an extra field for either ORDER or TIME were implemented just for this situation. It is especially annoying due to some GC features defaulting to placing their entries at the beginning of a day rather than the same order as a manually entered transaction. This will produce some negative or reverse balance conditions on occasion that never existed in real life.

Regards,
Adrien
