[GNC] How to reorganize the account tree

[Alan A Holmes]

As Adrien said in his reply if you sort on the Account Name column it should
be okay.

Personally, I sort on the Hidden column which I have displayed, mainly
because it puts the Imbalance and Orphan accounts together at the bottom of
the list and enables me to find errors in transactions quickly.
What I do notice sorting this way is that within the top level accounts
(Assets, Expenses, Income, etc.) that the 2nd and subsequent level Accounts
under Assets AREN'T sorted alphabetically, while those under Expenses and
Income ARE. I have insufficient sub-accounts under Equity and Liabilities to
be able to say.

Subject: [GNC] How to reorganize the account tree

I have been using gnucash for nearly 20 years. My account lists were a mess
until this spring when somehow I spent a day or two reorganizing everything
into a new and very well organized account tree.  For the life of me, I
don't remember how I was able to do that without losing the 20 years of data
stored in my accounts.  I would like to reorganize the order in which my
bank accounts are listed to make them in alphabetical order but I cannot
find a way to move the accounts in the account tree. I can go to the parent
account but that does not give me control to move the accounts around.  

                Can someone tell me how to move accounts around in the
account list.  Thank you.  Chin00kie
