Jerry, If you use the Edit Account dialogue In the Account tab, select an account, right click and select from the popup menu) you can set properties like the Parent account, Account type, for a specific account. the Account Code can be used to assign a numerical value which will allow you to order the accounts within each account type. this allows you to setup sub account structures ( contra accounts etc) for specific accounting purposes. GnuCash has a number of specialised account types (eg Bank, Credit Card Stock) which are subtypes usually of the Asset accounts to implement specific features.
