Changing the sorting of a register page is limited and anyway ill-advised as it will produce incorrect balances.

GnuCash isn’t “spreadsheet-like” software. It’s an accounting package. Please study  http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=2.6&lang=C&doc=guide <http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=2.6&lang=C&doc=guide> to learn how to use it and perhaps if it’s even a program that you want to use.
