There really is no need to do this. The Number field is a string-entry, it will let you input anything you want. The SORTING mechanism from the Num field is a NUMERIC sort; it effectively performs the C-function call atoi() on the contents. This means you could do something like: 1.16274 2.0023 3.172323 And it will sort based on the 1, 2, 3. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
