When testing the new "reconciled date" as a ledger sort item, I had a
transaction from 2018 at the end of the list. Finding that transaction
in the file, I get:
<TRANSACTION id="T000000000000016243" postdate="2018-08-06" memo=""
entrydate="2018-08-14" commodity="USD">
<SPLITS>
<SPLIT id="S0001" payee="" reconciledate="2018-08-31" action=""
reconcileflag="2" value="-8000/1" shares="-8000/1" price="1/1" memo=""
account="A000150" number="" bankid="ID 20180806AF190321500016194-1"/>
<SPLIT id="S0002" payee="" reconciledate="" action=""
reconcileflag="2" value="8000/1" shares="8000/1" price="1/1" memo=""
account="A000370" number="" bankid="ID D2018218T1953469"/>
</SPLITS>
</TRANSACTION>
I have no idea how a transaction/split could get reconciled without a
reconciledate being set. I also have no idea how to fix it without
manually editing my data file. I suppose I could change the state from
R to not-reconciled to C to R, but even if that does reset the
reconciledate to today, it would be wrong, and sort badly using the new
sort criteria.
Why do I always seem to find these anomalies?
