One method is to use the property box for the parents.  You can thn click on or highlight the name for one of the children and use the up or down arrow to move that child in the required direction:

If birth dates have been entered, another method is to use the Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data... command from the Tools menu.

In Focus mode if you select one of the parents then there is a menu option on the Property Box to 'Sort Family & Events in Date order'.
