Research direction
Investigate the sorting logic in the accounts table component. Check how the 'payee' column sorts transfers. Look for any existing sort comparators and see how transfers are handled. Consider if transfers have a different sorting criteria (e.g., by associated payee name). The issue may be in a function that returns the sort value for each transaction; ensure transfers return the correct payee name for sorting.
