I have been working on a tree-sitter parser for beancount, the node tree produced has the starting / ending line/column of the parsed file.
https://tree-sitter.github.io/ https://github.com/bryall/tree-sitter-beancount with that info you should be able to sort the ledger file I still think my parser has some edge cases that may not work, bu t I see no errors in my files so far I am writing a beancount language server currently, I may be able to add a code action to do this sorting in the LSP in the future On Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 6:14:27 AM UTC-5 Casey Link wrote: > Many thanks for this script! > > Some years ago when I started with beancount I decided to use one > beancount file, but separate the accounts by Org headings.
