Order of records on Individual Records display

Post by GrahamPD » 11 Nov 2014 22:44

This may well have been answered before but I can't find the answer. On the Individual Records - Records Window display can I get individuals with the same name to file with the earliest born first rather than at the bottom as I currently have?

Thanks

Graham

If I understand what you are requesting then this should do it:
Use Lists > Configure Record Window Columns.
Under Column select Dates and click Edit button.
Change Default Sort Direction to Ascending and click OK twice.

That you Tatewise, having same name records in the wrong date order had always annoyed me, hopefully now they will display correctly.

Graham & Margaret, if you were unaware of the Configure Record Window Columns options, then it might warrant further investigation.

This feature allows you to add Columns to any Record Window tab, and change the order of the Columns, etc.
It is somewhat similar to the Columns of the Query Window.
Once you have made changes, it is a good idea to Save to Query so the settings can be easily recovered if ever FH needs to be reinstalled.
