hledger sorting all my transactions by date in the file

Hi there,

I'm using hledger since the start of this year and I'm pretty satisfied with this tools to track my personal account,

my current "setup" is pretty simple, using hledger with hledger ui, iad and add alonsing with the text editor of my pc (here Kate from kde) to modified the transaction.
I currently have 2 files, the 2026.journal and the 2026monthly.journal who I keep track every transaction from the first and put the monthly charge on the other (rent, phone subscription, etc)

I wonder if there is a command in hledger to sometimes sorting the transaction in the file, since I use my text editor, sometimes when I anticipate some transactions for future month, they will fall between current month transactions, and since 2026 is not finished, the file keep getting big so sometimes it can be difficult to retrieve easily the transactions (I use Ctrl+F to help me).

And finally I think when the year will be over, I prefer to have a year files where all the transaction are sort by date so if I want to come back in the files later, it will be easier to look inside.

I know hledger-ui do sorting to show me the transactions, but just open the file can be nice to me.

Thank you in advance, take care.

Moneymoor - Envelope-style Budgeting on TUI

Moneymoor

How to Install

Fully self-contained

On Linux/MacOS: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m-doughty/App-Moneymoor/HEAD/install.sh | sh

On Windows (Powershell): irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m-doughty/App-Moneymoor/HEAD/install.ps1 | iex (note: untested)

Note: You can uninstall by replacing install in these commands with uninstall.

With zef

See the README, you will have to have SQLCipher installed and detectable by DBIish, then just zef install App::Moneymoor

What it is

A fully open source (Artistic-2.0 License) TUI for running a budget. If you're familiar with envelope-style budgeting, it works like that. You set up envelopes, allocate funds to them and then assign every spend to an envelope.

All of your data is stored in an encrypted sqlcipher database on your computer. If you lose the password, I cannot help you to recover it so set something you will remember. No data leaves your computer.

Still a work in progress so expect to hit some bugs. I can't actively test Windows yet so I'm relying on people to file issues for that.

You can put the sign as EUR/USD/GBP.

The tech

Written in Raku. Running on Selkie, SQLCipher and packaged with Ariza.

Built a free, open-source tool to help rank donors by major-gift likelihood

I built PhilanthroPy after seeing how many shops either pay for expensive wealth-screening vendors or do donor scoring in spreadsheets with no way to check if the numbers are even trustworthy. It's a free Python toolkit that takes your CRM export and gives you a 0–100 score per constituent for major-gift likelihood, lapse risk, and planned-giving intent — basically a sorted call list for your gift officers instead of a flat donor list.

No coding background needed to run the included example, though someone on your team (or a volunteer/consultant) will need basic Python to hook it to your actual CRM export. MIT licensed, free forever, no vendor lock-in. Happy to answer questions about what it can/can't do — it's not a replacement for a real wealth-screening vendor, but it's a solid first pass, and it's transparent about how the scores are computed, which most vendor tools aren't.
