Yes, "--sort 'date,payee'" does what I want to do.

Thank you very much.

Does this help:

ledger print --raw --sort 'date,payee'

Sorting on multiple keys and Sort Stability

2017-07-05 Thread Bob Hossley 
The ledger sort is *NOT* "stable".  A sort is "stable" iff when multiple 
records have the same key, their original order is preserved. Consequently, 
I can't use the ledger sort to achieve sorting on multiple keys.  When I 
convert my GnuCash file to Ledger, the transactions are in random order. I 
want the transactions in my journal ordered first by date and second by 
payee. 

Is there any chance that ledger sort will be made "stable"?  Can anyone 
suggest a way to achieve the journal structure I want?
