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.
The secondary sort based on date entered will gave random results from person to person depending upon happenstance in the way the data was input. Paul Gray -----Original Message----- From: Gene Young [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November-30-13 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] event sorting 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 by date, as it should. Then, unasked, it sorts alphabetically in the case of identical dates. If I wanted it to sort alphabetical I would ask it to do so. This is absolutely not acceptable behavior. I have not found anything in the help files on how to stop this behavior.Time for a problem report. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
