Meg, In version 6 Deluxe, (I assume Ver 7 Deluxe is the same). You can select SORT instead of using the up and down arrows to sort by date those marriages with dates. Of course, its one at a time; Same Family view screen, right click to view husband or wife list, select sort to sort marriages by date.
To find 2 or more spouses linked, just use a search. Select Search; Find; Misc Search; Individuals with multiple spouses. Create your list or just 'Find First' . The individuals are displayed in the Family View. Just Right click as above & SORT to sort dates. I suggest F3 to find the next individual. If you list by RIN, I think the stopping steps are easier. That is you can write down the last RIN fixed. Next session, select search, then select 'View Search List' and start off with the next RIN. Of course, printing the list might give you more peace of mind. You have one marriage with same spouses married and remarried. Others can help you on this, but I'm wondering if the MRIN is unique for each marriage and the RIN for each partner is the same and the date & location is exactly the same and source is exactly the same. I think this info may help those who can help you with this problem. Your switch is from Ver 4 Deluxe to Ver 7 Deluxe, correct?

The method of using the up/down arrows when viewing the spouses works but its going to be a tedious job. I cannot understand why v7 would not be able to sort out 2 dates so one would be before the other. Same formats for dates both in acceptable styles [like 2 Sep, 1884 and 18 Jan, 1898]. The reversed names were not like this on v4. I've not yet printed out any Legacy reports in v7, only a few family group sheets in v4. Is there a method whereby I can find all the people with 2 or more spouses linked to them ? Even if its just a report, I can then find them from the printed list. Otherwise it seems there may be no way to find all the names needing reversed other than trial and error. And a new problem has been found with ONE marriage I've found [so far]....both husband and wife have their spouses listed TWICE. Its as if they divorced and then re-married each other. They didn't marry anyone but each other....and it was only once. There are not duplicate names in the Index, so I cannot delete one of them, I tried and was warned of severing relationships I did not wish to sever. This showed up after the move to v7 as its a family I visit often for references. More ideas please....or should I re-install v7 ? We can hopefully find where the Legacy file is stored that we used for the move from v4.
