\f0\fs28 \cf0 @c -S, --sort EXPR sort report according to the value expression EXPR\
|
|
\
|
|
The postings displayed in a report are shown in the same order as\
|
|
they appear in the ledger file. To change the order and sort a\
|
|
report, use the @option\{--sort\} option. @option\{--sort\} takes a value\
|
|
expression to determine the value to sort against, making it possible\
|
|
to sort according to complex criteria. Here are some simple and\
|
|
useful examples:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger --sort d reg ^exp # sort by date\
|
|
ledger --sort t reg ^exp # sort by amount total\
|
|
ledger --sort -t reg ^exp # reverse sort by amount total\
|
|
ledger --sort Ut reg ^exp # sort by abs amount total\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
For the balance report, you will want to use @samp\{T\} instead of\
|
|
@samp\{t\}:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger --sort T reg ^exp # sort by amount total\
|
|
ledger --sort -T reg ^exp # reverse sort by amount total\
|
|
ledger --sort UT reg ^exp # sort by abs amount total\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
The @option\{--sort\} options sorts all postings in a report. If\
|
|
periods are used (such as @option\{--monthly\}), this can get somewhat\
|
|
confusing. In that case, you'll probably want to sort within periods\
|
|
using @option\{--period-sort\} instead of @option\{--sort\}.\
|
|
\
|
|
@c -w, --wide for the default register report, use 132 columns\
|
|
\
|
|
And if the register seems too cramped, and you have a lot of screen\
|
|
real estate, you can use @option\{-w\} to format the report within 132\
|
|
acolumns, instead of 80. You are more likely then to see full payee\
|
|
and account names, as well as properly formatted totals when\
|
|
long-named commodities are used.\
|
|
\
|
|
If you want only the first or last N transactions to be printed---which can\
|
|
be very useful for viewing the last 10 transactions in your checking\
|
|
account, while also showing the cumulative balance from all\
|
|
transactions---use the @option\{--head\} and/or @option\{--tail\} options. The\
|
|
two options may be used simultaneously, for example:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger --tail 20 reg checking\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
If the output from your command is very long, Ledger can output the\
|
|
data to a pager utility, such as @command\{more\} or @command\{less\}:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger --pager /usr/bin/less reg checking\
|
|
@end example} |
