[GNC] Order of accounts, auto numbering transactions.

[Adrien Monteleone]

As Michael noted, Transaction order is up to you.

They appear as you enter them.

You can 'sort' by various means, see View > Sort.

I abuse the NUM field to enter a 'time stamp' to intentionally order my 
transactions so I don't have to worry about the entry order.

There is no auto-numbering feature that I'm aware of. (not one that is 
exposed to the user anyway)

The NUM field is for your own use. It could be a check#, transaction# 
from a card statement, etc.

There is also a book option to use the Action field as the NUM field, 
which allows for different actual 'NUM' values per affected register for 
the same transaction.

Regards,
Adrien
