[GNC] How to find the transaction entered one minute ago

Dear GNUCash developers and users,

I am writing to request assistance with a transaction issue I encountered
today. I have been a dedicated GNUCash user for the past five years,
manually entering all my bank account and credit card transactions, which
amounts to hundreds of thousands of entries.

Today, while attempting to duplicate a transaction, I inadvertently
selected the wrong one and entered an incorrect date. I discovered this
error when my account balance no longer matched my bank statement.
Unfortunately, I am now unable to locate this misplaced transaction.

Because I do not know which original transaction I mistakenly duplicated, I
lack information about its description, amount, or the other involved
account.

Could you please provide guidance on how I might be able to find the most
recent transaction I entered with an incorrect date? Any advice on how to
identify and rectify this error would be greatly appreciated. Any way to
sort the entries by the time it was entered?

BTW, I have encountered similar issue couple of times but luckily I was
able to find out quickly. This time it just disappeared in the pile of
transactions.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
Larry
