Hi Sherry, I suspect that you're not a twin nor a sister to a twin. I think your "usually" relates to people who are not closely connected to twins.
I have older twin sisters born only half an hour apart. I've always known who the eldest one is - and the order is not the alpha order. There are also a number of sets of twins amongst my cousins - and again I know which one is the eldest in most cases. Fortunately I don't global sort very often - probably never again as I don't import files these days. I don't know a way to stop them reverting to alpha order on a global sort.
