Another thought, do some of the date ranges have spaces, and others not? The fact is that in my one name study I use the detail search for the given name and the place of birth as the secondary search, and in the search (name) list they always list in dob order. If they did not I would be facing a hopeless task.

If you use the Index tab and sort by surname they are usually in order of dob.

When searching for a family name in Legacy, the names come in a random date order. Eg, I have just searched for individuals with the surname 'Linnell' There are 15 'William Linnell's" in my tree, but in the search, their dates are not listed chronologically by birth order they start: Linnell, William (1821-1880) Linnell, William (1833-1837) Linnell, William (1740-1779) Linnell, William (1767-1832) Linnell, William (1740-1817) etc How can I persuade Legacy to order similarly named individuals chronologically? in the above eg, listed by birth order: Linnell, William (1740-1779) (earliest birth) Linnell, William (1740-1817) Linnell, William (1767-1832) Linnell, William (1821-1880) Linnell, William (1833-1837) (latest birth) Many thanks Joan Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
