Kinsfolk Census To Do nbsp;problem

Yes, if you check the Columns tab, there is a Y+M+D Heading, with Sort = Descending, and Hidden = Yes.
This entry calculates a Birthday Number = Year * 10000 + Month * 100 + Day.
So it sorts exactly as you require, but currently in Date Descending order, with latest Dates at the top and earliest at the bottom.

On the Columns tab, select this Y+M+D entry and edit at the bottom to Sort: Ascending, and untick Hidden.
Click the Update button on the right, and then display the Result Set.
This will display the results sorted as you requested.

Click on the Y+M+D Column Heading to sort Ascending and use Alt + click to sort Descending.
