Hi, It seems to me this is a European thing. You're from France, I'm from Belgium. In Belgium it would also be very helpful to sort on Account name or Account code at will. Accounting in Belgium uses a similar code scheme.
There was a thread some time ago on the German account setup (something with SKR04, I believe) which discussed a problem with long account names. To me that topic seems related. Maybe it would be good to get an overview of typical accounting issues/agreements in Europe to see if some more general improvements could be made towards European users ? Discussion is of course only a start. Someone should eventually implement good suggestions in code. I'm afraid I'm not up to that part (yet)...
