I can't tell you why burials get out of order but the fix is simple. If I
know the death date and the burial date I enter them under the date and in most
cases the burial immediately follows the death by a few days. If, as often
happens, I know the date of death, sometimes only the year, and I do not know the
burial date, I put a later date in the sort date field of the burial tag to
make sure burial goes in the right place. One may not know the exact date of
burial but one must presume it follows death in most cases. I would suppose that,
if it didn't, it ought to rate an explanatory memo as the story ought to be
interesting reading.-Dale
