a census, or a tombstone which basically gives me an age at a point of time
(which of course can also be way off). I use ABT basically if someone in

Go to "reports" icon, click on "potential problems", go to "warning" tab,
click on "check sort order of children" and on the right side of the screen
click on "create problem list". It's easy.

I have not tested it and it may not work but have you tried File -> File
Maintenance -> Check/Repair? Under there is a check box to "Sort all

Does anyone know if there is blanket way to perform a "sort order of
children" for a family file as a whole? So far, I am doing it with each
married couple with children but this way is taking too long and I keep
missing some so this becomes a common occurrence on my potential problem
