## `intra-day-reversed` ## `intra-day-reversed`
CSV records for each day are sometimes ordered in reverse compared to the overall date order. If CSV records within a single day are ordered opposite to the overall record order,
Eg, here dates are newest first, but the transactions on each date are oldest first: you can add the `intra-day-reversed` rule to improve the order of journal entries.
Eg, here the overall record order is newest first, but same-day records are oldest first:
```csv ```csv
2022-10-02, txn 3... 2022-10-02, txn 3...
2022-10-02, txn 4... 2022-10-02, txn 4...
2022-10-01, txn 1... 2022-10-01, txn 1...
2022-10-01, txn 2... 2022-10-01, txn 2...
``` ```
In this situation, add the `intra-day-reversed` rule, and hledger will compensate,
improving the order of transactions.
```rules ```rules
# transactions within each day are reversed with respect to the overall date order # transactions within each day are reversed with respect to the overall date order
