Strange sorting when using --market and multiple currencies

[Viraj Alankar]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand why sorting by amount doesn't seem to work right when using multiple currencies and --market:

ledger -f ledger.ledger --price-db prices.db -Y -V -c --period-sort '(amount)' -b "2023" register ^expenses

...

Expenses:Blah1                             $7225.12             $22613.89
Expenses:Blah2                            $10888.14             $33502.03
Expenses:Blah3                                $9.29             $33511.32
Expenses:Blah4                               $47.30             $33558.62

...

ledger -f ledger.ledger --price-db prices.db -Y -c --period-sort '(amount)' -b "2023" register ^expenses

Expenses:Blah1                             $7225.12             $22580.11
                                                                                                                            30.00 CHF
Expenses:Blah2                             $10888.14             $33468.25
                                                                                                                            30.00 CHF
Expenses:Blah3                             8.25 CHF             $33468.25
                                                                                                                            38.25 CHF
Expenses:Blah4                             42.00 CHF             $33468.25
                                                                                                                            80.25 CHF

It seems to be sorting the currencies separately regardless of using --market. Is there a way to sort by the converted market value?

Thanks,

Viraj.

Please try sorting by the `display_amount`.

Hm, strange it gives me a segmentation fault:

ledger -f ledger.ledger --price-db prices.db -Y -V -c --period-sort '(display_amount)' -b "2023" register ^expenses
Segmentation fault

ledger --version

Ledger 3.2.1-20200518, the command-line accounting tool

Perhaps I should try a newer version? This is installed from conda-forge.

Using this same options with my own data, I didn't not see a segmentation
fault. I'd like to get to the bottom of that!

If you can, it would be helpful. Also, is there a small example you'd be
willing to send me directly, that exhibits the crash?
