Family Tree Maker (5.0 and higher) have a sort feature that lets the user sort individuals by any feature that is included in the fact list, including birth and death. To use this feature, go to special report. Select "individuals to include", then "selected individuals". When you get to the individuals screen, first click on the double left arrow to clear the selected individuals list on the right and then click on "find". The selection criteria dialog box will appear and you can select birth, death, or marriage place and list the place in the blankj. If you want more than one of the criteria, just repeat the process. (The report format must include the selected criteria as a column for the desired information to appear.) Porter Womeldorff

Porter- Really want to thank you for the lesson on FTM. I never tried that before. It seems if we all did that, we could sure help each other more than we have in the past. Thanks again. Marlene
