I am working on a familly that has 11 children. Five of the children have exact birthdates while the ramaining six have a ca date found on census data. Only one of the six is in proper chrnological order? I figured that if it worked for 1 it should work for all. Thanks for any suggestions.

You have to give more details: are you talking about Canadian's census ?

<< Only one of the six is in proper chronological order? >>

some people listed sons before daughters.

sometime they listed children by a 2nd spouse first, those of 1st one last.

Is that the case ?

Hi,

It would be easier to explain the problem if you'd given us a link to the family :)

Anyway, the software takes into account exact birth dates, approximate birth dates, and baptism dates, to order siblings. If even one of the births is missing, then it just displays the children in whichever order.

The trick is to give an approximate birth date to every kid so that the software displays them right.

For example, you have the problem for the children of Pierre Comeau and Suzanne Bézier, because Marie Joseph doesn't have a birth date. So François, born around 1731, is placed before children born before him. Give a birth year to Marie Joseph, say 1710. The software will reorder the kids until François is at the end. Once that's done, you can erase Marie Joseph's birth year; the children should remain in the same order.

If the trick doesn't work, come back with a link to the problematic family.

Best,
K

No its not Canadian census, It's Acadian census where and exact date is very rare. The census simply gives ages.

I changed the birthdate of the individual to Exact and put arbitrary month and day. and nothing changed in the order. I must be doing something wrong. It looks like they are in order of gender. How do I change this.?

Why won't you answer the question directly? I have searched for ages but cannot find an answer to this anoying problem. It is no use telling us they are out of order without giving us the solution. David Mason.

Hi,

I gave an answer to the thread's original poster:
https://www.geneanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1569499#p1465315

Add a fictional date to the children without a date and save: that will reorder the children.

Erase the fictional date, the children will stay put.

Best,
K

@dmmason: There's no date of birth for Pauline de Souza and Dennis de Souza so the program can't display them in chronological order.

Please try the solution given by kallikrates.

Thanks kallikrates, your work-a-round succeeded. Let's hope the programmers come up with a permanent fix soon, as this procedure can be rather tedious.
Best regards,
David.
