Great!
I've always wanted this feature in Quicken, but I didn't know it existed.
This would be very helpful when you realize that a transaction you could
swear you just entered has disappeared, and you're not sure if you haven't
entered it yet or if you used the wrong date on the transaction. It's a
pain to track it down to correct the date.
So how does this feature work in Quicken? And how will this work in Gnucash?
Will it involve "unhiding" a new column in the register, or simply a key
combination to change the register sort order? And Dave do you ever sleep?
