I think you may be misunderstanding what the reconcile feature is for.
You should reconcile when you receive a statement from the bank.  The
purpose of reconciling is to match transactions you have entered
against those in the statements.  As far as reconciling is concerned
the dates of transactions are irrelevant, only the amounts are
important.

There is usually no need to manually change the reconcile column
unless you have a particular reason for doing that.  Just let the
reconcile process do it for you.
