Suggestion for FamilySearch app

Question

Thanks for this app! I could connect many of the profiles on my watchlist to FamilySearch. I have a few suggestions for this app.

More sorting options. Currently the profiles seem to be sorted only on CLN. Other useful sorting criteria are:

- LNAB / Wikitree-ID

- Last edit date

- Creating date

Especially the last two are useful, as this prevents having to scroll to a long list that you have already checked. This way you only have to look for new matches in profiles that you created recently or where you've added information to.

A false positive option would also be nice, so that you don't have to check the same wrong connection multiple times. However I see in other questions that this will require co-operation from WikiTree itself to store this information.

Answer 1

When I get a search list brought up, I find sorting by Birth Date or Death Date very helpful since most people have one or the other to find people.  You can also scroll to the bottom of the results and enter a date or something else to give you less results to search through. I wouldn't use Last Edit Date or Creation date because you don't know who or when someone would have done that.

This question is about the FarmilySearch app https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:FamilySearch_Connections which only sorts by current last name. It would be much better if it sorted by creation date as at the moment I have to go through a list of over a thousand to find the profiles that I have recently created.

I misunderstood your question.  I don't use that since I don't use family trees for any research.
