[GNC] Sorting scheduled transaction "Since Last Run" dialog

[Tom Route36]

Tracy,

I'm somewhat new to GnuCash; so I won't pass myself off as an expert.  
I'm also running Windows 11, not Ubuntu.  And I haven't used earlier 
versions of GnuCash, like what you're running.  So it might be better to 
get a more experienced person's opinion.  Usually the advice I see given 
here is to upgrade to the latest version. But if you want to hold off on 
doing that for the moment, you might try this.

In your "Since Last Run" dialog, highlight any one of your entries there 
(the NAME, not the date).  Then in the "Transaction" header bar, click 
the up or down arrow that's at the right-side of the Transaction header 
bar.  See if that sorts your entries alphabetically.

If that still doesn't work for you, it might be a good idea to try 
upgrading.  The only reason I hesitate suggesting that as a first step 
is because some folks have reported problems upgrading to the very 
latest version (5.14).  I've held off on doing that myself. For 
reference I'm running version 5.13.

Let me know if the suggestion above to sort alphabetically works or not.

Tom
