Thanks, but I have found, via various 'tests', a set of options that works. It requires a bit of homework, trying various combinations.

IMO, the options under edit>report options are sufficient, if a bit laborious to set up. There is a 'bonus' if you have any spelling errors in transactions, for ex, they show up as new entries in a  report!

Thanks to all  for the suggestions. Happy New Year!

This set of options sounds about right. What's the output? You can attach a screenshot, blanking out confidential data.
Don't forget to set General/Add options summary to 'always'

    Thanks, but I am not too sure what options I should chose to get the
    registry sort order.

    I used the edit>report options and after bit of fiddling I have a
    result
    by month in 'proper' date order.

    That is OK, but I would like to get Source of Salary from Income >
    Salary and annual/by month, in date order.

    The selection I have under report options > sorting is -

    Primary Key - Account Name; Primary Subtotal clicked; Primary Sort
    order
    -  Ascending; Secondary Key - date; Secondary Subtotal for date key -
    monthly

    I am using 2.6.19 on Windows 10
