Move the note field above the payee field #411

As a "Personal Finance Manager" I thought it would be more useful to have the "note" field above the "payee" field. For example when we record buying a milk or coffee we do not care much about the name of the person or the shop we paid in necessarily but we are more interested of what was the transaction about.

Just changing switching the place of the fields would be enough and note field could be named "Description"

The software is great indeed and it seems more powerful in some of it's functionality than some of the other desktop apps that have been around for much longer time.

The note field is really just a (not computable) description field whereas with payee does some magic and makes categorizing easier with its auto complete feature, which I use very often. That's why the input focus lies on the payee I guess.
