Funny, the way to do that with the Transaction Report is to switch to 
Options > Display > Detail level > 'One split per line'. Now, for each 
account, the split for that account will be first, with the others indented.

You can certainly do this with more than one account, but it might get a 
bit messy overall as transactions will be repeated in each account 
section where they have splits.

You'll have to play with the display options and the General tab for 
sorting to get something you like. (you can leave the Options window 
open and click Apply each time till you're happy with it, then save the 
report configuration)

Yes, the General Journal and its Account Report will show zero balances, 
because a balance here would be non-sensical.

Another option entirely would be to play with exporting your 
transactions to CSV and opening in a Spreadsheet or other app.

Also, note there is an Account Summary Report which shows the balance in 
all accounts. (by default. You can change this to a subset, as well as 
the date of the balances.)
