[GNC] Scheduled Transactions Window Sorting

[David Carlson]

Adrien M,

Are you able to sort transactions in the Since Last Run dialog as well as
in the Scheduled Transactions Editor?  Are they still sorted the same way
the next time that you open the Scheduled Transactions Editor?

I think there may be some confusion about when the stickiness arises.  I
think that it only arises in windows that are still open when the program
is shut down with Alt-F-Q, Ctrl-Q, and possibly clicking the upper right
red X in Windows or many Linux desktops.  I have no knowledge about Apples.

With that in mind, I think that it would be a nice enhancement if there
were a way to make the attributes of the current window such as sort order,
window positions and column widths 'stick' in the same way in the user
settings as they do now when the program is closed, but without actually
closing the program.  I think that this could be added in the right-click
menu for registers, possibly called Freeze Window Attributes.
