I can confirm that the change did NOT happen between 2.x and 3.2.  I
have 2.6.19, and when I click on Amount Name, in the Accounts tab, I get
only the choice of alphabetical and reverse alphabetical. GTK3 has
seemed like a step backwards in user convenience, in several matters,
but this is not one of them. (I don't blame the GC developers for
keeping current with GTK; I blame the GTK developers.)

I understand, Alan, that you don't want to spend time entering account
codes. But it would not be just for the sorting of the Accounts view.
You can also use the account code, just like the name, when entering
transactions in the registers. (That's true in 2.6.19; I haven't tried
3.x because so many problems have been reported with that version and
Windows operating system. Hopefully they'll be fixed in 3.3.)
