Chick: Oh, how I miss that FTM feature and wish that Legacy would do it. My workaround is to GEDCOM my database from Legacy to an old version of FTM to do that sort and check for duplicates. Other than that, the only thing that would take me back to FTM would be if they included a seance feature or a digital crystal ball.
Kirsten -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chick Lewis Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 3:28 PM To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Index Sorting Because of various spellings of a surname or variations of a given name there may be two individuals in the index that are actually the same person. These may be difficult to find, but sorting the index by date of birth rather than alphabetically will allow easier comparison of names in the same time frame which will sometimes reveal this duplication. This was a feature of FTM that I used quite often, but appears to be missing in Legacy. Is there any way to sort and/or search the index by date of birth? If not, what are chances for a future enhancement? *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.
