We all have different wishes, needs and desires. What works for one
does not necessarily work for another.
Why don't you make a suggestion to Legacy to provide that option?
There's a link for that on the Legacy Home page. :-)

Well, the Family View which you are using, is a view of one man and one woman.
Their children are listed first.
If you switch to the other set of parents in the Family View, their children
are shown first.
This is how it should be.

No, the picture location is hard-coded in and can't be changed.
