Default RE: Bug in Account Balance algorithm?

Me again. Yep, it's a bug, but a manageable one. Re-sort the transactions
so that the most recent transaction is at the bottom of the list, and the
balances are fine! I was experiencing the weirdness when my transactions
were sorted the most recent ones on top.

Default Bug in Account Balance algorithm?

Major problem here. Last week, I upgraded from trial version to paid version
of Money 2004 Deluxe. (Bought 2004 ver. because I'd heard 2005 was buggy.)
Now seeing weirdness in the balance column of my credit card Accounts.

Picture, if you will, 3 columns and 2 rows. Column A is the date, Column B
is the credit card Charge, and Column C is the credit card Balance. Row 1 is
Day 1, and Row 2 is Day 2.

To calculate the balance for Day 2, it looks like the Money program is
taking the balance for Day 1, adding 2 times the Charge recorded for Day 1,
then subtracting the Charge recorded for Day 2. That is, C2 = C1 + 2*B1 -
B2. Shouldn't C2 = C1 + B2?

Thanks.
