[GNC] First Day of the Week

[Adrien Monteleone]

I think Christopher confirmed earlier that the Transaction Report code is not considering locale at all.

There’s already a bug on it from 2015: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752395

Though it seems at that point in time, the report was stuck on Monday instead of Sunday!

Regards,
Adrien

I then click the options button to bring up the report's options. In that dialog, I select the accounts to include on the Accounts tab, set the report's date range on the General tab and set the primary key to Date on the Sorting tab. On that last tab, I also have to change the Primary Subtotal for Date Key to Weekly because it defaults to Monthly. After clicking Apply, I get a report of all the transactions in the selected accounts sorted by date with subtotals following the transactions from each Saturday. For example, if I set the date range for 20190805 to 20190901 (four weeks, Monday to Sunday), the first subtotal is reported as 2019-08-04 to 2019-08-10. The second subtotal is 2019-08-11 to 2019-08-17 (Sunday to Saturday). Does this help you replicate the report?
