A REAL improvement would be the ability to have events ordered by name first, and then chronoligically. That is definitely possible in Access, on which Legacy is still based, but they have not bothered to implement that easy fix.

At the same time you'd have to edit the Marriage Wording for every marriage so that they made sense. Currently the default wording for the first marriage is "married" and for the following marriages is "next married". You can set your own defaults in Options - Customise 8.7 but they only apply to new marriages I think. I know the test group has discussed the need for Apply buttons as well as reset button on the Marriage Information screen. But think carefully before doing this. I think it would be very confusing. Almost everything else is Chronological from earliest date to latest date unless your Events are ordered by Name.

I have a person in my family history that in his lifetime married three times. The correct date sequence of these marriages have b een recorded correctly in the Family View Window of the "legacy" software, however whenever I print out reports (example; family group sheets and/or other narrative reports) starting with this individual the marriage sequence dates of spouse Nr. 1 and spouse Nr. 2 are reversed thus it looks like he married spouse Nr. 2 before marrying spouse Nr. 1. I "pulled in" this family file from another genealogy program via a "gedcom" file . I even checked the old software program and the marriage sequence was correct and reports printed out from that program were reported correctly. I hope this is not a major problem because as one would expect there are &nbs p; descendants recorded from each marriage which could create serious problem for me. Please help! Tom Cox
