There isn't one. The register in Money are entry order or date+entry order
or number+date+entry order (or is it number+entry order+date?). They all end
up in entry order when all else fails

Were I you, I'd learn to deal with Date order in Money and accept that you
can only look at end-of-day balances when comparing from paper register to
Money register. Most of us who have used Money for very long essentially
abandon the paper register.

.... or sort by number.

AFAIK, if you MUST sort by entry order, your current approach is the only one
that will work.

A database isn't really equivalent to an Excel "list", where the records have
some obvious order.

Ordinarily if you query a database to ask for, say, all transactions in a
specific account, they will be returned in random order. You have to "tell"
the database engine to sort them if that's what you want. The reason you can
get them back in data-entry order is (most probably) that when you enter a
transaction, Money assigns it an internal unique ID number, and those
"autonumbers" are in increasing order. To do what you ask, insert a record,
would require that the ID numbers for all subsequent transactions be changed.
Databases just don't work like that.

Is there a possibility that you can sort by transaction date, and match
balances in Money and your checkbook as of a particular date?

Set the View to sort the register by date rather than order of
entry.

Does anyone know how to insert a transaction in the register in Money 2006?
I will sometimes inadvertantly skip a transaction, and then have to delete
all the transactions following the place where it should go, then reenter all
the deleted transactions once the skipped one has been entered. I sort based
on entry order, so that I get a math check on my paper checkbook register. I
want the order in the Money 2006 register to match the order in my checkbook
register.
