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

[David Carlson]

Tracy,
FWIW, I am running GnuCash Flatpak 5.14 on Ubuntu 24.04 with 8 GB RAM
because that GnuCash version is not available natively on that Ubuntu
version.  It seems to have a couple of the issues that are unique to
Flatpak, including a tendency (in my case) to crash at inopportune times
that I have not been able to find the root source of yet.  I have release
5.5+ installed natively, but 5.14 has some significant improvements, to my
eyes.
