[GNC] Any way to filter Scheduled Transactions by the Name Field?

Hi all,

I use the Name field of my scheduled transactions to help identify the 
payer account for each of those transactions.  And it would be helpful 
quite often to just view the upcoming transactions for a *single* payer 
account (e.g., checking) so I could see when withdrawals are scheduled 
to happen from that one account.  As an example, I might name the 
scheduled transaction for my power company as "[chk] ConEd", where the 
funds that are scheduled to be paid to "ConEd" would be coming from my 
checking account "[chk]".

What I was hoping to do was to be able to *filter* my rather long list 
of scheduled transactions by the Name field; so that I could easily see 
the upcoming transactions for just that one account (e.g., "[chk]").  
So, my question is: Is there any way to filter the Scheduled 
Transactions list in that manner -- i.e., by a text string within the 
Name field?

Just as an FYI, I know that I can *sort* the list by the Name field; but 
that doesn't really help with this.  The problem with sorting like that 
is that the list won't be ordered by the Next Occur date, which is the 
more important thing.

Any ideas?
Tom
