GnuCash does not present a running balance in any sort order; the
balance is 100% based on the default sort order.  When you enter a
transaction it computes the balance, and that balance is stored with the
transaction split.  If you use a different sort order, the balances are
NOT recomputed, the stored balance is displayed along with the split.

This is not a bug; this is just how GnuCash works.  I.e., it is working
as designed.
