I have the same issue.  For credit cards, the bank uses the posted  
date, not the actual transaction date.  I prefer the transaction date,  
so I know when I actually purchased something or ate the meal.  For  
checking account, I want the ledger to have when I wrote the check, not  
when it cleared the bank.  I suppose it would be an enhancement request  
(low priority) to actually keep both dates - original transaction date  
and institution cleared/posted date.
