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

[Tracy]

Tom,

I did try what you suggested, and it isn't working. So I suspect it is a
feature of a more recent version - which means I will likely need to
upgrade to get it.

I will probably do that at some point in the not too distant future, but I
need to do some preliminary work first (I need to upgrade Ubuntu first
-since I am not set up to do builds of current versions of GnuCash on my
system -   which includes backups, and making sure of software
compatibility with upgraded versions, etc). So I will work on that, and see
what happens - unless someone else chimes in with an alternate suggestion).

Thanks for the information.
