Family Historian User Group

Hello all,
I'm trying to get the events list on the Individual facts list sorted into date order. I've not long migrated to FH from other program,and now I;m reentering stuff which didn't come across, and some of it I've entered after other stuff if you see what I mean. However I can't seem to get the program to sort them out in date order. I've tried the drop down 'sort family & events ' button but all that tells me is there isn't any to sort. If i click on the event I wish moving to try to do it manually, no arrow button highlights so am unable to do it this way, Any ideas?

If your Events have dates go to Edit>Re-order Events by Date... F9. This will re-order records individually. For a global re-order to all records at once go to Tools>Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data.

Also make sure the events you have imported have valid dates. If they have ' ' around them FH did not recognise the format of the date and treats it as a Date phrase.

There's also a button below the Facts list called 'List in Order'. I've no real idea of what it's supposed to be for, but you don't get the move up/down arrows enabled unless you press it.

Thank you for that.

I've often wondered how to activate the up/down arrows & now I know.
