Is there a way I can have people listed in Index View first by Name
then by Birth Date order?
In most of my families I have some individuals who have the same given
and surname; in one family I have 125 men with the same two names. In
Name List they are shown in birth date order; but in Index View they
are not - they are all over the place.
I can go more easily from Index View to the Edit Person screen for
each individual than I can from Name List so I use it more often than
Name List before adding a person of the same name [ to check whether
they may already be on my data base]
Carol,
In the Index View, right click the table header that begins with RIN,
Surname etc. From the Customise Index View Columns dialog, select an
empty field and click the elipses at the end of it and in the next
dialog, select the field you want. There are nine different fields you
can choose from.
I was able to select surname for one field, christian names for another.
Select and delete field names you don't want, and use the up/down arrows
to manipulate the fields to the position you want.
While you are at it, when you have the fields in the position you want,
click the [Save] button and save the layout with a significant name. You
can save ten different layouts. When done, click the [Close] button.
