Children are not auto sorted in this version of Legacy, they are displayed in the order they were entered, if they are not in the order of birth then you have to open the children settings and click on Sort to put them in order of birth and then if any have no birth date but you know where they should be then you must move them with the arrows to their place in the lineage.

Children by the second wife are likely to be younger so the trick would be to display them by default. Operative words are "by default." sent from my pink Nexus7 On Aug 6, 2013 8:27 PM, "Brian/Support" <br...@legacyfamilytree.com> wrote: No you cannot sort the children of a blended family group by birth date. Only the children of the couple are sorted that way. Children of previous or later marriages of the partners are listed below the children of the couple. If the Sample file is any indication the children of the father by other wives/partners are listed next then the children of the wife. Those children of the other spouses will be in date order within their group but the list will not show all the children in date order. To show the children of other marriages right click on any child, Select View > Show 1/2 Kids. There is also a second setting to view 1/2 siblings, on the sibling list look in the lower left for the check box to show half siblings.
