You are still "accurate" at the end of the day, regardless of what
order the txns appear within a day. It really doesn't matter if I
have a $200 payment and then a $150 charge, or vice-versa.. At the
end of the day, I've got a credit of $50.
I suppose if you really want an intra-day max/min then you would
care about the order in which txns get posted to your account
(in which case, perhaps the order should be the order in which they
get posted to the account -- I have no problem with that).
What's wrong with just keeping the daily order in which txns get
entered? Sure, someone will complain that they want to change the
order, but just document that that is not possible. (If it's
documented, then it isn't a bug :)
