           Summary: Change the way patron fines are displayed by
                    boraccount.pl
           Product: Koha
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Patrons
        AssignedTo: chris.cormack at liblime.com
        ReportedBy: oleonard at myacpl.org

Here's what I see for my account:

Date        |    Description of charges  | Amount  |  Outstanding
------------------------------------------------------------------
01/02/2008      Tip                        $-5.00     $-5.00
12/19/2007                                 $4.11      $4.11
10/27/2007      Payment                    $-42.32    $-42.32
10/26/2007      Lost Book                  $38.21     $38.21
------------------------------------------------------------------
Total due                                             $-5.00

This doesn't make any logical sense to me. I expect the entries to be in
reverse chronological order, like a check register. Reverse chronological order
might be difficult to manage for dozens or hundreds of lines, but maybe there's
a way to constrain the height of the table display and add scrolling just to
the table element?

The "outstanding" column I expect to be a running total, calculating the
outstanding balance at the time of each transaction: on 10/26 the running total
would be 38.21. On 10/27 it should be -4.11. On 12/19 it should be 0, etc.
