John,  Peter, 
Whatever the reason for Morris to want this (I, for example occasionally want to see all the payments to/from one payee), the fact remains that GnuCash already offers this functionality, although it is buried in View->Sort by (our whatever that menu option is).
So, Morris is mostly asking for an interface improvement to make using this feature more accessible. Frankly, I think it might make sense.

doing a sort on the description?

Would it be better achieved by doing a search on the register (which can 
be case-insensitive), or by looking at the register that contains the 
other split in the transactions of interest (resp. registers that 
contain the other splits)? Does it indicate that your chart of accounts 
doesn't match your needs?

Cheers,
Peter
