Peter:
I have seen the same thing, about splits spontaneously re-ordering
themselves. I do not recall documentation about this, and I have not
read the code, but I have the impression that: a) GnuCash does impose an
order on splits, and b) the order is something like: splits with credit
(left-column) amounts before debit (right-column) amounts, then in order
of full account name.
I do believe that the order of splits within a transaction has no
bookkeeping significance. It doesn't affect how the basic accounting
relationship of assets, liabilities, and equity is preserved. It doesn't
affect the content of reports. etc.
I hope this is clarifying, even if it isn't definitive.

I have a recurring transaction with a very complicated split. At some
point, the splits in the recurring transaction seem to have organized
themselves in a confusing way - seemingly not related to the order in which
I entered them.
Is there any way to reorder splits within a transaction short of "Type
everything over again from top to bottom?" Is the (seeming) self-ordering
of the splits themselves inevitable, and if so, is there some underlying
principle by which they are arranging themselves?
