Thanks hda,
Yes, that would be definitely better as the current situation, but still it will not guaranty the inputted sequence. At least into the Netherlands the bank statement files are based on input transaction, resulting that for example banking cost are inserted by bankoffice with a date before the transaction date. So here it would definitively go wrong.

From the other side, I really don't understand why we would not have a option to sort on insert sequence, as this is the only way to control statements in openerp with bankstatements (manually inserted from paper or imported from file)
Why by default always resort differently? If accountant want to sort on date, he is able to do so by click on column name, or do I miss something here?

Data inconsistency is one of the caveats for every ERP and manually input will always contain errors by mistyping. So we have to deliver software that will utilize the user to control the input.
Now this is not possible, because while user input the next line, the index is reordering directly and my previous line could be switched to a other place.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Just insert some statement lines with the second line with a previous date and the insert the 3th line. The second line is now switched to line 1 from line 2. Then imaging you insert 100 lines and you definitly lose control.
