 It sorts postings so that positive ones are first, negative ones last.
 Within each sign, postings are sorted alphabetically by account name.
-Lastly it facilitates merging postings on transactions with more than one posting in the same direction on the same account.

 Piping the output to `hledger print` can recalculate the missing amounts.
 Multiple runs might be needed to clean up all duplicates.
