*Assuming* the baptism was in one of the High Churches where infant baptism is the norm, then 1789 ought to work perfectly well for (a) eliminating the PP flag (b) ordering children (c) most lists. Rationale: one doesn't not baptism the unborn; if there is a baptism, there is a living child, even if said child expires before the final Amen.
IF the baptism isn't in a church-group that practices infant baptism, then you're stuck with (a) "bef 1789" (b) living with the PP flags or (c) turning off the flags.
