Jane, Here is what I tell Legacy users:
There are three things you can do to solve the birth order issue: 1. Please read the article "Tips on Fixing Relationship Problems" at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsRelationshipProblems.asp. This article will give you the steps to correct the sorting issues that you are experiencing in your family file. Look at Problem 2: 'Children not listed in order of birth dates in lists and reports.' (Note: this solution is only useful as you happen across a family with children not in chronological order.) 2. Create a Potential Problems List that contains only searches for children listed out of birth order. You can sort the birth order right in the Potential Problems List. Here's how: 1. Click on Reports on the menu bar, then select All Reports (Books and others) and click Potential Problems button. 2. Clear all of the check-marks from the Warnings, Problems, Standardization and LDS tabs, with the following single exception. On the Warnings tab leave checked the box for Check sort order of children. 3. Click the Create Problems List button. 4. Going line by line, click the Edit Children button on the right side of the list. 5. In the Children screen click the Sort button on the right side of the screen; then click OK and Close. 3. Order LTools from Zipper Software at http://zippersoftware.com/index.htm. The deluxe version of this handy little program only costs $10.00 and has feature that will globally sort all children in your family file at one time.

So simple when you know how.

When the new window with the children's names pops up, simply click on "Sort". They will now be sorted in order of birth.
