Justin are you talking about Dividends whereby the business owner (with
shareholders) sends monies to shareholders? I don't know how to book these

Apparently you're also implying that not just me, but the whole accounting
ecosystem is wrong because we all believe that Retained Earnings is net income
minus dividend payments.

Thanks for your comments I will fill a bug report.
After testing different approachs, checking preferences, and since all
sorting keys are working just fine EXCEPT the month, it's to me obvious that
there is a bug.
I want to thank everybody for their comments. You were a precious help.

Whilst that is true and the arrangement of named columns in GnuCash serves
as a reminder, it is still necessary for the user to decide on which account
row of the relevant column to enter transaction amounts,

I may have found a problem with my "french" version of Gnucash ? It would be
a question of date format maybe. (Date format: -mm-dd)

The whole point of OP's asking this question is how to cope with the fact
that the 3.x series ruins Windows for using the 2.6.x series except 2.6.21,

The "Retained Earnings" part of the Balance Sheet has nothing to do with
dividends.
IIUC on the balance sheet date X, the retained earnings simply means the
total income up to date X, minus total expenses up to date X.
