Re ^: This currently doesn't save the reverse sort setting between runs, and I really didn't like the empty_split being at the bottom when reverse sorting. It is functional for people wanting to compare their on-screen, reverse-sorted bank accounts though. I just ran out of time, enthusiasm, money... I'll commit it as is but subsequent commits mean that the patch is obsolete and I'll have to revisit the code again. I also marked Bug 682732 as a blocker because it simply doesn't work for me. I think we either revert to the old CSV importer or fix the new version. Perhaps others could test it and update the bug.
