What determines order of wives
What determines the order of the wives when neither of them has a marriage date entered ?
They're not in order alphabetically by 1st name nor last name. They are not in order by birth date. They are not in order by FG ID # or creation date (the one that is 2nd has a much lower # that only has 8 digits that starts with 5 and was created in 2010, the other is 9 digits that starts with 1 and was created in 2014) The new one added went to the top, but when I deleted the 1st one that was added and then re-added it, it did not go to the top. The only difference that might? affect it is the wife that is loading in 2nd did re-marry after the 1st husband died, the other wife never married anyone else. I can't figure it out !
fyi: for spouses that you enter both wedding dates, they appear in order by date; and if you know only one date, the one with a date will appear first.
