As you operating on the Ledger files, they may become disorganized. For
the most part, Ledger doesn't care, but our human brains prefer a bit of
order. Sorting the transactions in a buffer into chronological order
can help bring order to chaos. Ledger sort @kbd{C-c C-s} will sort all
of the transactions in a region by date. Ledger-mode isn't particularly
smart about handling dates and it simply sorts the transactions using
the string at the beginning of the transaction. So, you should use the
preferred ISO 8601 standard date format @samp{YYYY/MM/DD} which easily
sorts.

Note, there is a menu entry to sort the entire buffer. Special
transactions like automated transaction, will be moved in the sorting
process and may not function correctly afterwards. For this reason
there is no key sequence.
