Comment 2 for bug 618528

The way you describe it is the way that it works for me, so it isn't really a bug. For the case that you mentioned, this kind of behavior makes sense. In my case, I don't track my transactions on a daily basis - I always keep enough of a cushion that I'm never really concerned with overdrawing. I also tend to add transactions in large batches at the end of the week, so there's no guarantee that I'm adding a day's transactions in the order in which it actually occurred.

I guess it's really an aesthetic preference - it looks cleaner to me to have all deposits listed first and then withdrawals following. I should also note that there is almost always a lag between the moment of the purchase and the transaction being posted to your bank account. Here's an example: I have $50 in my account and submit an online payment of $60 for my electric bill. I then stop at the bank later in the day to deposit $100 to cover the bill. Entering the transactions in chronological order, my wxBanker account briefly shows a -$10 balance until I deposit the money, but the bank doesn't see the transaction until the next day.

Like I said, it's more an aesthetic thing. Given that my financial habits are probably different from most people's, I wouldn't necessarily expect this to be default behavior, but it would be nice as a configurable option.
