Thanks, guys. (I eventually moved the accounts to the right side as ledger
does.)
The sort feature mainly works with the scheduler feature, although also is
nice just to keep things in order.
Rather than using ledger's budgeting feature, I like how other programs
I've used allow you to enter future recurring transactions up to N days
ahead.
ledgerbil's scheduler uses a journal file that is a valid ledger file, but
uses a comment line to define a recurrence:
2018/03/17 chop chop hair
;; schedule ; weekly ;; every 6 weeks
e: misc: haircuts
l: credit card: mega $-18
When you run the scheduler it does all the math and adds the entries to the
end of a regular journal file (without the comment line) and then sorts
that file to put them all in order.
I have a commit script that validates the ledger file is valid, and then
uses another ledgerbil feature to find the next scheduled date and decide
if it should run the scheduler, outputting something like if so:
next scheduled date: 2018/04/06 (39 days)
Schedule file (enter days = 40):
2018-04-06 johnny paycheck
Then when I check the register for the account that handles my main cash
flow, I can verify there is enough money to cover expenses for the next
month+.
Thanks for your question! I'm quite happy working on this as a personal
program but would be happy if others found it useful. The reason I say it's
limited to my own usage is that I generally develop and test with ledger
features in mind that I'm using, and I probably use a small subset of
ledger's bounty. :-) I do keep in mind other things I see in the ledger
docs, but I certainly haven't accounted for many things.
