[GNC] Re-arranging Imported Accounts

[David Cousens]

Jerry,

If you use the Edit Account dialogue In the Account tab, select an
account, right click and select from the popup menu) you can set
properties like the Parent account, Account type, for a specific
account. the Account Code can be used to assign a numerical value which
will allow you to order the accounts within each account type. this
allows you to setup sub account structures ( contra accounts etc) for
specific  accounting purposes. GnuCash has a number of specialised
account types (eg Bank, Credit Card Stock) which are subtypes usually
of the Asset accounts to implement specific features.
