One thing I use org tables for is to represent a series of accounting transactions, with each group of rows representing a set of entries for the transaction.
Like this: |-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------| | Id | X | Date | Charge | Dr | Cr | C | R | Description | |-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------| | 206 | | [2010-12-05 Sun] | l:chase visa | | 1,648.62 | x | x | Opening Equity | | 207 | | [2010-12-05 Sun] | q:eq | 1,648.62 | | | | Opening Equity | |-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------| | 208 | | [2010-12-20 Mon] | l:comm:visa | | 3,859.39 | x | x | Opening Equity | | 209 | | [2010-12-20 Mon] | q:eq | 3,859.39 | | | | Opening Equity | |-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------| | 211 | | [2010-12-27 Mon] | q:eq | 43,447.85 | | | | Opening Equity | | 210 | | [2010-12-27 Mon] | l:charter one | | 43,447.85 | x | x | Opening Equity | |-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------| It is sometimes handy to move transactions around, but they have to be moved as a group. It would be nice if org had the ability to do this in a manner as convenient as moving around individual rows. Perhaps, C-M-<up>, C-M-<down> could be bound to such a function. A Bonus feature might be to provide a way to sort groups in a manner similar to rows, using say, the first row in each group for the sort criteria, but moving whole groups as a unit. So I could sort the transactions by date, description, etc. -- ==================================================== Daniel E. Doherty ded-...@ddoherty.net
