Has anyone found a way to re-sort siblings in order of birth date in the focus page without knowing their parents?
This is something that is starting to crop up for me in the early 1910s when the birth mother's surname is given, but I don't yet know her forename or be sure who her spouse is.

Re: Sort siblings without parent(s)
Welcome to the FHUG.
There are a number of ways to get any data into Date order. It matters not whether you know the names of either parent.
A catch all is Tools > Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data.
But you can also open the mother's Property Box and on the Facts tab use the lower right Menu > Re-order Facts by Date.
There are others, but those are the easiest.

You should be able to use Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data... in the Tools menu. If birth dates are not known, you should be able to use the curly black up/down arrows in the toolbar to manually re-order the records.

As well as the above options I create Male UNKNOWN and Female UNKNOWN (or the best info you have) parents, this then simplifies many situations.

Thank you all very much. I'll give the tools menu a go.
