A REAL improvement would be the ability to have events ordered by name first, 
and then chronoligically. That is definitely possible in Access, on which 
Legacy is still based, but they have not bothered to implement that easy fix.

Roberta,
You would have to do that yourself individually for each person with multiple 
marriages.
At the same time you'd have to edit the Marriage Wording for every marriage so 
that they made sense.
Currently the default wording for the first marriage is "married" and for the 
following marriages is "next married".

You can set your own defaults in Options - Customise 8.7 but they only apply to 
new marriages I think. I know the test group has discussed the need for Apply 
buttons as well as reset button on the Marriage Information screen.

But think carefully before doing this. I think it would be very confusing. 
Almost everything else is Chronological from earliest date to latest date 
unless your Events are ordered by Name.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem With Marriage Sequence Dates

[Brian Kelly]

I had a private exchange with Dave N. off the list. He now agrees that 
there is no longer a bug in the ordering of spouses in web pages and 
reports in the latest update to Legacy 9.0 dated 16 Sep 2017.


He had been comparing the output from a previous version in web pages 
created in July 2017 where a second marriage was listed first. When he 
ran the same pages in the current version the marriages were listed 
correctly in date order with the earlier date listed first.

It has been mentioned on the beta list and this one many times by me

Having spouses in the *correct* order in your family files results in
them being reversed on output.  It affects all reports and web page
generation.  My family web pages make it appear that I'm an idiot
because they show marriages in reverse sequence.

MILLENNIA PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem With Marriage Sequence Dates

[Brian Kelly]

To do that you will have to manually sort the marriages. There is no 
option to sort by dates in descending order to put older marriages after 
the current one.


To manually sort use the two arrow buttons in the lower right of the 
spouse list.

Cathy, can we put the spouses in reverse order.  By that I mean the most
recent spouse first, followed by the previous spouse(e)s so that, when we
print out a report, we automatically have the current spouse appear first
followed by previous one(s).

Look at the Spouse list and re-order the spouses.
