I guess I don't fully understand why it's required to sort. Can you
tell me how ledger calculates the sum when you have one commodity
(e.g. AAA) and that's valued in another (e.g. USD).
You said it does not use number of AAA * value of AAA in USA. So how
is each individual step valued?
let's say we have 2 AAA and then we have 2 P entries showing that the
value of AAA in USD changes. How does ledger calculate this?
What if we have 1 AAA and later get another 2 AAA, how are the 3
valued in USD?
What I'm trying to get at: at the moment, ledger keeps all precision,
but it shows you the info in whatever you specify with D. Sometimes,
ledger generates an "Adjustment" entry when rounding happens.
Why cannot we generate such Adjustment entries too when necessary?
e.g. let's take an example
D $1000.00
2014-05-01 Test 1
Assets:Investment 1 AAA at $10.454
Assets:Cash
2014-06-01 Test 2
Assets:Investment 1 AAA at $10.454
Assets:Cash
ledger reg:
2014-05-01 Test 1 $10.450 $10.450
2014-06-01 Test 2 $10.450 $10.450
2014-06-01 <Adjustment> $0.010 $20.910
Why is this not possible?
Hmm, I remember in one of our previous conversations arguing against
such a thing; maybe this is something that needs to be configurable;
for example, when you have expenses of $10.454 on 2014-05-1 and again
$10.454 on 2014-06-01 you probably want your total to be $20.90 (with
rounding); but when I track how much my shares are worth, I definitely
want the result as number of shares * current value, so we'd need to
do the Adjustment above.
