I think most of us enter our data one family at a time, in which case it is easy enough to click on view, children's list, click on sort at the end, just to make sure that they are in the right order. Since the current program puts all the children without birth dates at the top when you hit sort, I move individuals up or down with the arrows in the lower right hand corner if some children don't have dates. Its fine that some of you use "c." for an estimated date, just don't impose that option on the rest of us by asking for a program that requires a date in the birth field to work right. In other words, I like it just the way it is.
Now I can understand how someone who has inherited a 5,000 family data base or failed to sort at the time they entered the information might want the universal sort button. However, I would suggest that this button be well hidden as part of file correction with a strongly worded warning that explaines clearly that it will screw up correctly sorted families where there are some children without birthdates.
