About GnuCash's "close the books" pair of transactions, you wrote:

I'm not sure what a KVP flag is, but that end-of-day setting explains why the transaction number is ignored. (After closing the books on the ordinary income and expenses accounts, I fold the special equity accounts lie Extraordinary Income and Gain or Loss on Investments into the main Equity account.)

How can I strip the end-of-day setting off of the closing transactions, so that they wil fall in the proper order with other transactions ased on transaction number within date?
