You can put something in the Num field in the Scheduled Transaction
Editor. For instance, you could number the deposit as 1 and the
withdrawal as 2.

That's not terribly satisfactory, since every other week you will have a
2 but not a 1, but it's the best I know how to do.

(I'm using GC 2.6.19, but I don't imagine the Scheduled Transaction
Editor has dropped the Num field in later versions.)

Another possibility is simply to let the transactions appear, and then
assign numbers to the new posted transactions. GC will display
transactions in Num order.
