[GNC] Reconcile "Starting Balance" is wrong

[Mahon Finbar]

Yes, I have found both, transactions 'out of order' and balance not 
'correct'

I usually find that I made a booboo in an entry or duplicated one or 
wrong date/year....

To be honest, even after checking there is often a few centimes 
difference but I don't let it bother me.....😁 Life is too short.
