Thank you, Alan. However, does this only affect the order in
printing out reports? I tried this but it does not bring my #1
choice up to the AKA line on the family view. The AKA I first
entered is still the one that shows up there.

Hello Georgia
Yes, it is possible to arrange AKA names in the order that you prefer. If you
have already added your AKAs, then click on edit then insert at the beginning
of the surname: [[1]] or [[2]] or [[3]] for every AKA for that person, thereby
arranging them in the desired order.

At present, the fix has been impending since L4, which
would allow our having access to the order. Not very
high on the fix next.

Surname Notes could also be used for Surname origins, meanings etc.

Unfortunately the answer is No.
Which is why I don't use AKA for nicknames but use Legacy's Quoted
Name feature.
We still need the sentence you propose - picking up the Quoted Name.
Perhaps we even need a different way of entering the Nickname. It's a
big issue for me as most of my mother's g
