Just found an easier way. Use search > find and on the Detailed Search Tab Look for Whom = individual, what to look for = Event-Name, How to Look = Not Equal To, What To Look For =leave this blank

Make sure the clear list before search option is selected then click search. You can do the same event sorting from the search list but now only people who have events are included. Saves going through all the people with no events.

Also noticed that beside the sort button are the order buttons with up and down arrows. After sorting by date you can select one that doesn't look right and use the up or down arrow to move it in the events list to where is=t makes sense. eg. I had a person with alt. birth with a date but an employment event after graduation without. After sorting all the events I used the down arrow to put this in the right place in the list even though I did not have a date on that event.

Events can be sorted by date if you wish. When you have a person's events on screen click the options button, there are two choices for sorting, by name or by date.

The easiest way I found to do the sorting is from the name list. Click on the events tab and as you move through the list you will see who has events entered. There is a sort button there that brings up the by date, or by name options for the sort. Hope this helps you get your events in the order you prefer. As always though if you sort by date, events with no date will go to the start of the list.

Also the events. People live in chronological order. I wish the events could be automatically sorted that way.

Subject: [LegacyUG] V6 - Potential Problems - Children sorted order


Is there a reason why Legacy could not automatically correct this potential problem? I have 39 pages of children that are not sorted correctly - I can not think of a reason why I would not want them sorted in order.

Any reason why to let them remain in an unsorted order? If not, can this be added to Legacy to automatically do?
