Thanks Sherry - the problem is we would rather be able to sort by the
DOB column (or potentially any column shown) so that we can look for
people with the same or similar birth dates that don't have the same
name. I know if it was a standard date field it would probably be
trivial code - but I do recognize that genealogy dates are not in a
standard date field.
And dates taken from the GRO are definitely non-standard, being entered
as <month> Q <year>, where <month> is Mar or Jun or Sep or Dec. A
standard can not be used for this since the <month> Q combination is
shorthand for 1 <month> - 2 to <last day> <month>.
Definitely *not* a trivial exercise for the programmers :-)
