Any date field in Legacy can be populated by a private date.
I have just noticed some extremely bad behavior in Legacy 8.
In V7, I would select to sort events by date and the events would first sort by
date then by the order in which events were entered in the event of duplicate
dates. This was and is the desired effect.
In V8, however, it first sorts

That does not help. If you need to do a sort by date manually it still decides
for you that you really meant to screw up your sort order. It should not add
additional sort criteria to any sort. By Date should be by date, no other
criteria added.

Ron,
You said Most of the complaints could be solved easily and quickly if
folks would spend a little time using the help files.
True enough.
In this day and age of instant information it seems a lot of people have
lost interest in reading help files and would rather have someone hand

happenstance in the way the data was input.

Gene,
I would agree that V8 is doing it differently, I disagree that it is wrong.
In fact, it sounds to me that the date then alpha sort is superior. It gives
a known result every time.
My way gave a consistent known output every time, since v4.
A secondary sort was discussed at length on the test list. It was
decided that as long as the automatic sort was turned off (for those
who have their own way of sorting - you can still sort manually), it
would be great to have the secondary sort.

I would agree with Paul since it is assumed that we do not know the birth
order of children with blank dates, therefore alphabetic is preferred.
IF you know the birth order of one or more of the children with blank birth

Gene,
I'm sorry, but I disagree.
I would prefer that when there is a duplicate date, those events should
then be sorted alphabetically.
I can see your point, as there may be situations where you might want a
specific sequence
Which I think would be a better option than in the order they were
This is about event sorting by date and probably pertains to all dates. Has
anyone else noted that when you sort dates that Legacy does not know how to
