Hi List,

There are several tags I want sorted in a particular order at the bottom of
the tag box on person view. I do not want a "real" date. These "events" are
mainly the different reference numbers I use for the various family lines
within my one data set project, but also include some Name-Var tags. They
will only be printed when I have a specific need for them, not in a general
Individual Narrative or Journal report, probably just "List of Events"
reports. The particular order is so I can see at a glance which tags I have.
I have a devised a sort date sequence for these tags and have been adding
the sort date when I add the tag. I realize I can set the order of undated
tags via TMG Utuility after the fact, but I would rather have a default sort
date for the tag when I add it. I can't see a way to do that, other than
copying the tag from another person and changing the ID and data for the new
person, in which case, I may as well add a new tag and enter the sort date.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Laurie
