I do this for cemeteries. Several cemeteries are interred by date.
That is, they start in one corner or one spot, and from there
spiraled outwards. I know Sherry already said this, but what I do
here is enter everyone I have for that cemetery. Since I need it
sorted by BURIAL date, I open it up in GenViewer and make a copy for
the spreadsheet. Then in Excel (or whatever spreadsheet I am using),
I make my burial date my primary sort, secondary sort is the name,
and ternary sort based on the birth date. I don't know what I would
do without GenViewer! I have the full version of GenViewer, but don't
forget GenViewer Lite is free; though I don't know what features are
deactivated for the Lite version.
Basically, what you are asking for is a fourth way to sort the names.
You can suggest it by going to the Legacy Home Tab, and on the left
side under Support, there is a line there to "Suggest a new feature."
That is not a guarantee the developers will put it in, though, but
they will see the suggestion.
Thanks.

You got it, Robert. Just like you can tag any group of names and then show
just the tagged names and sort by Given name or Surname or RIN.
