Hello Ed and welcome to Gnucash. If you do get txns out of order I find the simplest way to re-order them without putting something in the "num" column is to highlight the out of order txn and click duplicate - this will copy it to after you other txns for the date and then simply go back and delete the original out-of order txn. Saves re-entering everything. Alternatively if you don't mind clutter you can just number them 1,2,3,4,... in the num column and they'll sort in that order.
