Would this be better than name sorting the events? I date sort them now, so sometimes I have to go down the list anyway. Could they print in color on reports? Or would this all work better in the to-do list? Or just better not to do at all?

[LegacyUG] one father many children
I'm not sure if my question is appropriate for the user group or not. If it isn't please forgive me this is my first post. I watched a news report several days ago concerning a sperm donor who had fathered at least 15 children (several sets of twins) with different women. The father was identified only by a donor number- no name. It seems like it could get really messed up. Would each mother would have a phantom donor spouse with the children from that union listed or would the children only be listed as adopted by the original husband and spouse? Or is there another solution? I guess that the same questions would apply for an egg donor. There is a donor sibling registry and the link is http://www.donorsiblingregistry.com/ . How would a professional genealogist handle this in Legacy?
