If you really want to sort by account name, in the Accounts panel click
on the "Account Name" header column header and notice the direction
arrow at the right of that header. You want it to be pointing up, to
sort in normal (increasing A to Z) order.

Personally, I find it easier to use the Account Code column. Giving
accounts numeric codes and then sorting in ascending order on that
field, when I add an account I find it easier to place that account in
just the position I want.

Also, GC accepts an account name or an account code when entering a
transaction, which simplifies data entry.
