Bug Description
KMyMoney 1.0.4 installed via repositories in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on 3 separate computers.
I asked the following question in the KMyMoney forum:
Register entry order
Post Sat Jan 07, 2012 11:55 pm
I am moving from Quicken 2003 to KMyMoney in Ubuntu 10.04. The QIF import was flawless and I am basically ready to go.
I would like to know if there is a way to open a new transaction and it default to the number field as the first entry. I have set preferences to not show the new transaction form but it defaults to the payee field first. I can adapt but the wife, being so used to Quicken, would rather have the transaction begin with the "No. (check number)" field. There is not option in the preference under register to set the entry order.
Is there a config file where I could make this change?
I desire the entry order to be: No., Date, Details, Payment/Deposit, Category, Memo.

There are settings for the tab order of the transaction form and the register form but those settings are not exposed in the user interface.
The settings are:
Code: Select all
[General Options]
stdTransact
stdTransact
and can be added to you configuration file manually by editing this file
Code: Select all
~/.
and adding the above values rearranged according to your preferences.
My response was:
These settings do not change the order. I experimented by using this setup:
Code: Select all
stdTransact
stdTransact
This does change the tab order but it now goes payee,number,
The original values you provided from my initial question did nothing.

This shows that you use register based entry. Thus changing stdTransactionR
Is this a bug or is the program hard coded for a default "Payee" field as a first entry order?

This should be closed as outdated. KMyMoney version 5.1 has recently been released, and custom ordering of the ledger has been available for some time.
