If I post say 10 transactions of various amounts on a certain day - how do I get the system to stop putting the transactions in amount order?  I want to keep them in the order as I enter them.

What is amount order? The 'register' and 'print' commands in C++Ledger always
outputs postings in the order you entered them.

It never posts entries in the order I post.  If on Monday morning I post $150, then later I post $299 and later $10,,,,,It will put entries for that day in amount order.....1st $10 then $150 then $299.   It's not earth shattering but wish it would leave entries in order I post.

When you say "it will put", can you tell me which command you're running? And
if you have a ~/.ledgerrc with anything in it?
