I, too, would love the ability to sort by dob, cd & dod. --why not sort on
any field shown in your "view".. or maybe you'd have to create a "view" with
given fields, and one or two "index" fields... since access based, could
possibly be done, but the database would become gianormous and each person
added would increasingly add to the database and indices!!
Another thing I'd like to see is the possibility to see *ALL* alternate
names from the merge screen, and the possibility to "delete" said names from
the merge screen. However, I realize that this is an option that would
serve very few, and only occasionally, so I am plugging away at fixing my
database after a large merge from someone who used a program that added
surname as well as given/surname as alternate names!!
I've been using Legacy since v2, and my database is now rather large. Abt 2
years ago, I had the brainstorm of downloading an online database to which I
and others had been adding data (and sources)... as well as another one sent
to me by someone using FTM. I have been spending almost all of my genealogy
time merging, deleting and cleaning the old databases... I have on my to do
list... creating to do lists for individuals, converting and cleaning
sources, notes and events.. (and making them uniform by source/event type)
Not a big undertaking.... I may be done by year 2100

When I had a program that did that, I would sort all births for a parish
register search, to simplify 'scrolling' through the document. Since it
added in the 'abt' and 'year only', I could find them all in the once pass
through. When I moved to L5, I made ToDo forms which printed on the 'same
page', which was a 'fix'.

What is the advantage of being able to sort the name list by birthdate?

Chick:
I'm with you on sorting names by dob; it's one of the two relatively small
FTM features that I miss. For now I send a GEDCOM from Legacy to an old
copy of FTM and sort there, but it would certainly be handy to be able to
do
it within Legacy. Seems it would be easy enough to add. I don't understand
the lack of a dob sort for names.
