Add Opening Balance column to balance.php where colspans and line break widths are adjusted accordingly.

Here we are losing an important feature making the report grouped by account.
Can you make this an option from a parameter so we can switch between this view and the old behavior ? (lilke it is done for the ledger page with button "Group by account")

Under Ledger (accountancy/bookkeeping/list.php) I do see the button 'Group by finance account', whereas under the Account balance page (accountancy/bookkeeping/balance.php) I only see the 'EXPORT (CSV)' button. Is there supposed to be a 'Group by account' button there too?

(I do acknowledge that removing the line break would break sorting by 'Financial account')
Thanks.

The button "group by" is not yet. My suggestion is to add it so we won't loose the existing feature.

If you may, kindly provide a screenshot of the "existing feature" that would break by adding an Opening Balance column. So far, I tested balance.php by sorting by 'Financial Account', as well as search filter options and those work without issues.

Alternatively, if you would rather have this new version of balance.php as a separate page, say openingbalance.php, and have a button from balance.php that links to openingbalance.php (passing over search filter parameters), then that's also fine with me.

Thank you.

Re-implemented this as a separate view that can be toggled, similar to how the Ledger page views (list.php and listbyaccount.php) are implemented. Thanks.

So, i misunderstood what was the goal of your PR. I though you move the breakdown of accounting account as a simple column, this is why i guide you to this change. I finally revert your PR to take last version - 1.

The merge didn't take the commit.
I actually reverted my commit before committing the re-implementation as balance.php and openingbalance.php. So there is now one commit (one version), where balance.php has a button that links to openingbalance.php, and vice versa. In addition to your suggestion, I figured this would keep the balance.php view as-is for those who do not want the extra "Opening Balance" column.
