First, let me thank John and all the other members of this group for ledger
and all the associated information here. I'm using ledger to manage the
books for a small business and love it. It seems to me that when reports
have commodities in them the report shows all the commodities *above* the
label, whereas the subaccounts go *below* the label. I.e, ledger will
produce a report that looks like this:
$328.32
22643.625 FUNDA
4022.333 FUNDB
15.661 FUNDC Assets
$328.32 Checking
22643.625 FUNDA
4022.333 FUNDB
15.661 FUNDC MutualFund
$-328.32
-22643.625 FUNDA
-4022.333 FUNDB
-15.661 FUNDC Equity:OpeningBalance
--------------------
0
whereas it seems more logical to me to format it like this:
$328.32 Assets
22643.625 FUNDA
4022.333 FUNDB
15.661 FUNDC
$328.32 Checking
22643.625 FUNDA MutualFund
4022.333 FUNDB
15.661 FUNDC
$-328.32 Equity:OpeningBalance
-22643.625 FUNDA
-4022.333 FUNDB
-15.661 FUNDC
--------------------
0
preserving the logic that details go *below* top level labels for
*both*commodities and subaccounts.
This is really a question of appearances, I understand, but is there some
other logic at work here? To my eye, the second report is easier to
understand or explain.
