Or, you could use the account numbering field... I was under the impression that you could click on the account name heading in the Chart of Accounts, and it would sort by that column. Not being at my machine right now, I can't confirm that, though.

Each sub-account posts to the parent account. For example. 50000 - Expenses; 50100 - Insurance; 50110 - Auto Insurance; 50111 - F-150, etc. 50000 - Expenses; 50200 - Utilities; 50210 - Electric, 50220 - Gas, etc. On 3/29/2019 9:39 AM, Matthew Andrews wrote: > Hello everyone, > > GnuCash has been working well for me, but it's beginning to get > cumbersome to look at.
