The Close the Book tool generates two transactions, one for all income

They _seem_ random, but I can't imagine they really are. Can anyone tell
me (a) how they're actually sorted, and (b) how I can get them in
Account Code order?
If you are really doing a "close the books" << close the "temporary*
accounts of types income and expense" into equity it could be done three
ways:
a) In a single transaction.
b) In two transactions, one for the income accounts and one for the
expense accounts.
c) Separate transactions for each income and expense account.
These are logical equivalents. So you appear to be asking, "were I using
method "c" am I forced to do them in some specified work flow order?"
You are of course asking about "b" but what meaning are you attaching to
order?
