#1034 Relationship Chart - show oldest top

[Mark Hattam]

Does anyone ever not wish they'd ticked the "Show oldest top" option?

Can this be enabled by default?

Or is is just me that likes it with "show oldest top" enabled?

Mark, I must admit I'm the opposite, I prefer not to have "oldest at top". But I have changed my files so that "Check relationships by marriage" is ticked by default, so its easy to do.

In another query I've suggested there are a whole bunch of these tick-boxes that would benefit from a config. section, reflecting that we all have different preferences. My choice would be to set these at GEDCOM level, but perhaps some would prefer User level. I think that is the direction 'opus27' was aiming at when he tried to manage the "Events of close relatives" check box through a cookie. It could then remeber a particular users preferences. Unfortunately it didn't work on this attempt, so had to be removed.

If you want to change your own set-up in the short term, its in relationship.php, about row 563. Change
if (!isset($_REQUEST['asc'])) $asc=1;
to
if (!isset($_REQUEST['asc'])) $asc=0;
