Tracy,

I'm somewhat new to GnuCash; so I won't pass myself off as an expert.  I'm also running Windows 11, not Ubuntu.  And I haven't used earlier versions of GnuCash, like what you're running.  So it might be better to get a more experienced person's opinion.  Usually the advice I see given here is to upgrade to the latest version. But if you want to hold off on doing that for the moment, you might try this.

In your "Since Last Run" dialog, highlight any one of your entries there (the NAME, not the date).  Then in the "Transaction" header bar, click the up or down arrow that's at the right-side of the Transaction header bar.  See if that sorts your entries alphabetically.

If that still doesn't work for you, it might be a good idea to try upgrading.  The only reason I hesitate suggesting that as a first step is because some folks have reported problems upgrading to the very latest version (5.14).  I've held off on doing that myself. For reference I'm running version 5.13.

Let me know if the suggestion above to sort alphabetically works or not.

Tom,

Tried that as well. Hovered over the Transaction header, hovered over the
selected entry, nothing. No pop-up, no arrow beside Transaction to sort
with.

Just to reiterate, I am in the "Since Last Run" dialog, not the "Scheduled
Transaction Editor".

Which version are you on? Perhaps I need to upgrade?

Tracy,

I'm sorry.  My bad.  You don't actually need to click on the Transaction
header bar.  Just hover your mouse over the header bar.  It should tell you
there "Highlight a schedule first to sort by schedule name".  Basically,
you highlight any one of your schedule names in the list, and then click
the arrow in the Transaction header bar up or down to sort alphabetically
(up or down).  Try that.

Tom,

I tried clicking (left and right) on the Transaction header in "Since Last
Run", and it will not accept a click (or right-click). Perhaps I need to be
at a different version of GnuCash? Can you tell me which version you are
using?

Hi Tracy,

If you click on the "Transaction" header bar in "Since Last Run", it will
tell you how to sort alphabetically.

Greetings,

GunCash 4.8 running under Ubuntu 22.04

Is there a method for sorting the entries in the "Since Last Run" dialog
(Scheduled Transactions)? I would much prefer the list of possible
transactions to be alphabetical rather than in what appears to be the order
in which they were created and added to the Scheduled Transactions.

I suppose I could just recreate them all, but that is a pain, and doesn't
help when future Scheduled Transactions are created.

Any ideas would be helpful. I have minimal aversion to upgrading, if an
upgraded version solves this issue...

Tracy
