Thanks for the quick reply.  I am using version 5.1.3 from Kubuntu 
repos.  But I understand its not relevant on this bug.  I will be more 
detailed in future reports.

I am glad to hear that the master branch does start in the date field.  
I think the column order of |Number| Date| Details| C| Payment| 
Deposit|  Balance |in 5.1 is pretty standard.  I don't know if 
re-ordering columns is necessary.  But I can see where it might be a 
nice feature.

However, even if you re-order the columns, I would still suggest that 
when starting a new transaction, the cursor should start in the first 
column on the left and work across the ledger.  It wouldn't make sense 
to re-order the columns if you then needed to enter the data in a 
different order than the column order.  I hope that makes sense.  Thanks 
for listening to my request and all the work your doing on the project.

Nathan
