    On the Close Realtives tab there is an option to "Reorder families" for this purpose. But I'm not sure it is followed through on all displays. That changes the order they are stored in the RAW GEDCOM, whcih is the default display order if there are no dates.

    The easiest solution is to put a date in F886, so that all three are dated. You may not know the actual date, but you do know that it is after F885, so enter the date as "EST 1877" or something similar.

    The options are:

    BET xxxx AND xxxx

    FROM xxxx TO xxxx

    BEF xxxx

    AFT xxxx

    EST xxxx  ("estimated", ideally a note explaining how it was estimated. In your case "Based on children's ages)

    CAL xxxx ("calculated", ideally plus a note explaining how)

    Yes, I know about the re-order on CR tab, it's the other two that I was concerned about. How they differ between the 3. I'd expect all 3 to be the same even if not the intended order.

    The PF&D uses a very complicated algorithm to make its best 'guess' as to the proper ordering of facts and events, while the other tabs use the GEDCOM ordering. That's why the difference. If you wish the F886 Brandla (m. unknown) marriage to be the last, then for PF&D to order it will require a date, (AFT 1863).

    Where did the Raw GEDCOM list you give above here come from? The "View Raw GEDCOM" option in PGV, or by viewing the actual GEDCOM file itself?
