Ordering of children

IMHO, children should be ordered from first born to last born. Right now , the ordering seems to be pretty random

You can reorder children inside a Family → Long press on a child → Move before / Move after.

Yes, but you wouldn't wanna do that manually with a big tree. If you have hundreds of people and the dates are there for the program to do it automatically. The current ordering is random or is it by order of addition?

Also, the diagram doesn't always honor that ordering. It sometimes puts the middle child lasts even thought it was moved to the middle, under family. It's then displaying that person in the middle, when you center the graph on one parent, but when centering on that person's child, it puts the person as if it were last and not middle.

As discussed also here, we could add a Sort children by birth date option in Family activity. Current sorting of children follows the order in which they are added to family (unless they were manually moved).

Also, the diagram doesn't always honor that ordering.

Of course, because two parents must stay next to each other, out of their siblings sorting. That will happen also to married siblings, when will be implemented this idea.
