I have a family with 10 children, all with christening information but no birth information. There are two children in the family with the same name. I want to sort them in christening order but in the family view, where I can drag and drop, the christening dates do not show under birth date as they do in the people view (in italics). Is there some way I can show this information so I can use it for sorting, or maybe I could file a feature request? I am using 2.2.6-1 on Ubuntu. Tony |

If you want them ordered on birthdate, you must go to the family, and with drag and drop make sure the order you give is on birth date. Like this you have total control. Eg you have a person without birth date you know is the oldest. Ordering on birth date would loose information in this case, so it is required that you set the order, and gramps uses that. You will see in the family view the # sign, which is the number sign, giving the order, 1,2,3,... This can be annoying if you where not aware of this and now have to manually change order. However, once you know it, you just add children to a family and with drag and drop set them in the correct order. This works fine.

Actually, I got the impression Tony already knew that. However, he also asked if it was possible to have baptism date shown in the "Family:" window (where the ordering is to be done). Currently, I don't think it is. It would be nice to have that, though. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" An old custom to sell your daughter Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie & The Banshees -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Where will you be when the bodies burn?
