If you are referring to the order that GR displays names on your tree, then I believe they sort by the Year of Birth field, not the Date of Birth field as the latter is free format.

	If its only on genes, it does seem odd. Hope an 'expert' comes along soon to advise, otherwise you'll need to contact GR.

I would have expected that the children would be shown with the eldest child on the left, working through to the youngest child on the right. Is this a quirk of Genes or do I need to adjust some settings?
