Just to add to what colevalleygirl said: the Orphan query works by assigning a Pool number to each group of individuals who are directly or indirectly related to each other. (So if you don't have any unrelated individuals they will all be in Pool number 1). You might find it useful to display a column for the Pool number in the Records window. To do this, right-click on any heading in the Individuals tab of the Record window. Select 'Configure Columns'. Scroll down to the bottom of the left hand side in the Configure Columns dialog and select <other>. Click on the right-pointing arrow in the middle of the dialog. Enter a Heading name, e.g. 'Pool number', and in the Expression field enter =RelationPool() . Click Add. You can now use the up/down arrows on the right hand side of the dialog to change the position of the new column if you want to. Click OK. You can now click on the Pool column heading to sort individuals by Pool number.
