Edit each of the top-level accounts (via the Edit button). Add exactly the account numbers you've just shown for each account. (You can also add numbers to the subaccounts if they need to be in a specified order, too. but they should all share the same first digit of their superaccounts. If you don't add numbers to the subaccounts, they will still appear under their superaccounts, but not in a fixed order.
Then, in the main window (list of accounts), click the down arrow on the upper right and check "Account Code", then click back in the main window to dismiss the dialog. You should now see an Account Code column containing the account numbers you entered earlier. Click on the Account Code column's header cell to sort by Account Code. A second click will reverse the sort order. I hope this helps. -P.
