It seems like from the hledger manual if you declare your account directives in a specified order that will affect how they are sorted in report output. However it doesn't seem to take effect for me in the child/sub-accounts. For example if I declare:
Assets:Account2 Assets:Account1 Account 1 still comes out on top.
Can anyone confirm if I can do what I'm trying to do here?
https://hledger.org/1.32/hledger.html#account-display-order:
Sorting is done at each level of the account tree, within each group of sibling accounts under the same parent. And currently, this directive:
account other:zoo
would influence the position of zoo among other's subaccounts, but not the position of other among the top-level accounts.
