Tuesday's Tips provide brief how-to's to help you learn to use the Legacy Family Tree software with new tricks and techniques.
Sorting the Name/Search and Marriage Lists (Beginner)
Did you know that you can sort the Name List, Search List and Marriage List?
To sort the Name List or a Search List you can click the buttons at the top labeled #, Given, Surname and Legacy will sort your list by that criteria.
You can also go to Options > Show User ID# in the list and the RIN column with be replaced by the User ID. You can then sort by that.
On the Marriage List you can sort by MRIN, Husband (if using Gender Neutral this will be L Spouse), and Wife (if using Gender Neutral this will be R Spouse).
I like being able to sort my data in different ways. Not only does it help me find what I am looking for but I also notice things that I might not have readily seen otherwise.
