Problem with Family Historian and order of children in Family

[atmartinas]

I just started a trial with the Family Historian program. I transferred my files via a Gedcom. Looks like this was successful all info is there. I am interested to print out Family Group Sheets but have noticed that the children are not listed in chronological order despite the dates all being present. Can anyone advise me how to fix this please?
Thank you

Select a parent in the Focus view then select Edit then from the dropdown select Re-Order Events by date. It will then order all the children in date order.

That worked a treat but do I have to do it for each family or is there a way to do for all?

Thanks again,

After I first posted I thought maybe you'd ask this, so I had another look. If you select Tools/Re-Order out-of-sequence events, it brings up a dialogue box. I've not used this before, but if you check the box 'Prompt for confirmation before each update' and run that, it looks like it will do what you want. If you don't check the box, it'll take you through each entry one at a time. It does allow you to check the order of other things, not just children's dates

I've always done this from the 'Tools' menu.  Last night an extra child turned up in a family that I thought was completed, and it was a simple task to add her details to the list of children and then let the system re-order them.

Simply pressing F9 with a parent selected will re-order the family, although the tools menu option is the route to go for multiple families.

PS the F9 method works no matter which view you are using
