    Hello,

    I've just check my gedcom for critical errors and got this result - John /Emms/ (I581)> Reorder Families

    What could be the cause of this? How do I 'reorder families'?

    Reordering families (and reordering children) are two very common activities.
    Reordering families needs to take place when one adds a spouse and later adds a second spouse that preceded the first.
    INDI > EDIT > REORDER FAMILIES

    The same could occur with an adopted family (1 FAMC) entered first and then later a birth family. Unfortunately, there is no utility for this function and it must be done manually, but fortunately, it is not a common task.

    For reordering children:
    Family record page > EDIT > Reorder Children (manually or by birth date)
