[GNC] Scheduled Transaction Posting Order

[Gyle McCollam]

Robin,
According to the help menu, if you give the scheduled transaction for A a lower number than B, it should come 1st in the register.  That is if you have the standard sort order selected, see below:

Account Register - View Menu

The View menu in the Menubar. Table 4.3, “Account Tree - View-Menu - Changes display window view.”<ch04s02.html#AccTree-ViewMenu> is supplemented for the transaction view by the following entries.

Table 4.13. Account Register - View-Menu - Changes GnuCash display window characteristics.

Subject: [GNC] Scheduled Transaction Posting Order

Is there a way to control the posting order of scheduled transactions?

For example, I have scheduled transaction A that runs every two weeks
(payroll) and scheduled transaction B (kids' allowance) that runs every
week.

For the bank account side of the transaction, it would be nice if the
deposit (from transaction A) would appear in the register before the
withdrawal (from transaction B).

I get that it's just an appearance thing in the register as all the
accounts are set to display using the standard order. It's not something
that's worthy of a patch, even if I knew how to code C/C++, I wouldn't
waste time on this; I was just curious if the posting order could be
controlled within the context of the existing user experience.

Thanks,
Robin
