Order of Children in Tree View

[Douglas McMann]

Can anyone tell me how to rearrange children in the Tree View to show eldest first...???

I have a GG Aunt who had three children, all to different, unidentified males.

In Tree View, they are not in order of birth...can this be sorted...???

Dougie.

Re: Order of Children in Tree View

The order of children in the Tree View reflects the order of children in the Family View.

Go to the Family View where the children appear together -- then reorder them there. (You can drag them into the correct position.)

The next time you visit the Tree View, the children will appear in the correct order.

Thanks Frank...

I can see this working if the children are all to the same spouse, however my female ancestor had three children to different spouses/partners, and Family View doesn't show them all together to enable me to drag them into order.

It sounds as if you might need to click on the red triangle on her family view button, select Spouses & Children>Edit Spouses, and sort the spouses chronologically.

Thanks Tim, that did it....
