Thanks Paula, Set Order is OK when you are dealing with a few events in a persons life but if you're talking about many undated events, setting the order manually doesn't help much for reports and web sites. I use an "Abt" or "Est" date for all events according to whether I feel a little confident of the timing or reasonably confident. That works but it creates a trap for other researchers that the date has more validity than I ever intended.
