I use MYDATE=BANKDATE for several reasons: - it looks more logical to append the bankdate (which I'll always learn *after* I write the transaction) rather than prepending it, - it is also more logical to read the dates (left to right) from the earliest to the latest, - the actual date is (IMO) the date the transaction actually happens (ie. the "real" date); the effective date is the date it becomes effective on my bank account. I do not pretend everybody should agree with me, though, and a very straightforward sed script can easily switch from one format to another. Best reagards, -- Gabriel Kerneis
