Category-Only Printed Forms

Feature

Making a printed form that only shows a category breakdown, used to list them in the order that categories were first entered.

Starting with Goldenseal 3.5, it now lists them in either of two orders:

• If the Sort Category Names option is turned on in Interface Preferences, they'll be listed alphabetically.
• If the Sort Category Names option is turned off, they'll be listed in whatever order they were entered in the Category System used for the transaction. If there is no category system, they are listed alphabetically.
