Sorting of children out of wedlock Glitch!

Question

Normally when you enter children for a couple they are listed by order of birth as they should be.

I discovered that if the husband of the family had a child prior to his marriage and his mistress's name is not entered that "natural" child gets listed after all the other children even when his age places him as the first born child.

Is this intentional? Can/should this be changed to reflect birth order?

Hi Eugene,

What's the example?

Sorry - forgot to add the example.

In this example son, Allan, is born in 1710. His half brothers Gillean and James are born "before 1710" and sister Isabel is born after 1710 but is between Gillean and James. The prepositions (before, after) must be interferring with the order.

Hi Eugene. That would do it. Our system isn't smart enough to account for the modifiers.
