Beli,
Another reason for using the birth order flag in addition to sort dates and
Baptism dates, assuming that you have some knowledge of the birth order, is
that the children will be numbered in the reports. For example the Family
Group Sheet will list the known children with a sequential number instead of
a question mark.
