Darrell,

It is true that the individual sections can not be ordered in a meaningful
way. Some people may interpret that as a flaw in the program. That's not how
I see it at all.

Second Site is designed to include multiple families, families that are
related in complex ways, and people who are not related but interacted with
each other such as friends, neighbors, clergy, or other people who have a
place in a family's history even though they are not blood relatives. There
is no meaningful way to sequence people given that design goal.
