It is beyond me why, when "children not in birth order" is considered a DATA ERROR, FTM does not default to putting them that way or provide a way to globally correct; or at least provide an option "put all children in birth order."

Uncheck the box on the options list of the error report and it will no longer search for births out of order. I do this even though I consider it an error when they are out of order. The reason I uncheck the box is because FTM is forever [unilateraly] changing the birth order. I am leaving them alone in anticipation FTM will someday fix this
