I noticed I have a baby listed in my database that was born and died on the same day. For some reason, his death fact is above his birth fact. Is there a reason for this? Did I enter it that way? How do I fix it properly? I changed the sort date and that seemed to work, but is that the correct answer? Kyla Bayang

Kayla Compare the dates. It seems you entered the birth as more current than the death fact. Usually happens when is 18xx and the other is 19xx.

Facts having the same date are sorted in the order added. The SortDate is the tool to set the order to waht you want. You can suffix the SortDate with -1, -2, -3... to put them in order while preserving the basic SortDate.
