Gyle,
As per my 1st reply << Personally, I sort on the Hidden column which I have displayed, mainly because it puts the Imbalance and Orphan accounts together at the bottom of the list and enables me to find errors in transactions quickly. What I do notice sorting this way is that within the top level accounts (Assets, Expenses, Income, etc.) that the 2nd and subsequent level Accounts under Assets AREN'T sorted alphabetically, while those under Expenses and Income ARE. I have insufficient sub-accounts under Equity and Liabilities to be able to say.>> Alan A Holmes From: Gyle McCollam <gmccol...@live.com> Sent: 12 June 2022 17:07 To: Alan A Holmes <gnuc...@alanaholmes.me.uk>; gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] How to reorganize the account tree Alan, It sorts correctly in my GnuCash as well. Are you sure it is sorting on the account column, it the only explanation I can think of? Can't tell that from the narrow view in the attachment. I understand why the narrow view as you don't want to display the full account names.

But see the attachment, where "G" and "P" both come before "C". And there are no leading spaces or non-printable characters.

The accounts at the same level of the tree should be sorted in alpha-meric order. The sibling accounts (children of the same parent account) should also be sorted that way AMONG THEMSELVES (but not sorted that way with respect to children of different parents) You aren't seeing the ultimate top level parent (aka "root") but "top level" accounts like "asset", "liability", "equity", "income", "expense", "Imbalance" are its children and so appear in sorted order. In other words, they are siblings at the highest level.
