Clicking on the column header worked to put them in alphabetical order!
That's a big improvement! Thank you!
I was thinking there would be a way to do it with the account code.
When I right click on an account, and select "edit account" there's a
field called "Account code." That's where I've been putting numbers,
assuming I would be able to use them to make a custom sort. Am I
misunderstanding what that is for?
I see that I could use some alpha-numeric system in the account name to
get a custom sort, but I prefer the simple look of just having the name
displayed.
For example, under expenses, I may want the two or three largest and
most active accounts at the top of the list, and the other small or
inactive expense accounts below in alphabetical order.

Click on the the Account Name column heading in the Accounts tab and
they will be sorted alphabetically (within the tree structure).

Hello everyone,
GnuCash has been working well for me, but it's beginning to get
cumbersome to look at. My accounts seem to just appear in the order I
created them, which was just as they were needed. It would be a lot
easier to read, for example, if I could put all my expenses in
alphabetical order. Any suggestions on how to organize the accounts? I
have a tree structure, but when they're on the same level, how do I
change the order they appear?
Thanks!
~Matthew
