Order

This specifies the order in which bank account information is used.   The deposit amount will be split according to how you set the split, starting with the account with the lowest Order number.   It will then continue until either it runs out of funds to deposit, or it hits the last record (which must have amount = 0, to specify it gets the rest of the deposit).
