I am amazed you even notice what the RINs are! It isn't something to be used
for any particular purpose. A database needs for each record to be unique.
The easiest way for the database to be certain this is a unique record is to
assign it a number. Why Legacy tells you these numbers is a mystery to me.

Ron in response to why - because it annoys the hell out of me for some
reason being so out of sequence.
My family file has a total of about 7,000 people and the imported on was
about 500 people.
Legacy did not create the gedcom.
Thanks for your reply

Mark,
Why bother as their order is totally unimportant and in any event,
although I haven't checked I would be very surprised if Legacy created a
Gedcom using the RINs. There is no way of automating a change of RINs from
within Legacy and with 500,000+ it would take years to do it manually
(even if you don't get lost after the first 100 or so :-) ).

I have imported into my database a gedcom. The RIN's are totally out of
sequence and as the RIN's in the gedcom were 500,000+ for some reason all
the new ones are created after that also. Is there some way to renumber
the file?
Thanks
Mark
