When I know that the children were born in a specific order, but don't know a date for any of them, I give them a first initial A, B, C, D, and so on so they will sort as A B C D instead of by the actual first name. Sometimes I've remembered to put () around it, even. I've left it there until I've found a date for all of 'em. Clearly, I have to remember to fix that in print-outs, but since I rarely have anyone to share with it's not a big issue.
