This command is using the command-line tool "ledger" to display a register of "expenses" sorted by "amount".
- "ledger" is a command-line accounting tool used for managing personal finances or business accounting.
- "register" is a command in the "ledger" tool that displays a register of transactions.
- "${expenses}" is a placeholder for the name or filter of the account(s) containing the expenses that we want to display in the register.
- "--sorted" is an optional flag that indicates how the register should be sorted. In this case, it is to be sorted by the "amount" field of transactions.
- "${amount}" is a placeholder for the field in each transaction that should be used for sorting. In this command, the register will be sorted based on the amount of each transaction.
So, executing this command will display a register of expenses, filtered by the given account(s), where the transactions are sorted in ascending or descending order based on the amount field.
