Why is Virginia (born 1917) not appearing to the left of Virginia (born 1919)?

It's because Robert Mills has no date of birth. Could you please try to enter an approximate date?

Hi Jean Yves,

I also don't understand.

Virginia (1917), Paul (1917) and Virginia (1919) all have a date. So shouldn't Virgina (1917) automatically go between her twin brother Paul (1917) and her other sister Virginia (1919)? Robert will be at the right because he has no birthday date, that I can understand.

I entered Robert's DOB (1926) and that resolved the issue. Though I still don't see why this was necessary. (As Edward already pointed out.)

Hi Carol,

In my tree I deleted the DOB of my sister. She's fifth in line.
After refreshing the page she's still on fifth place. :?:
Maybe it has something to do with when Geneanet's index refreshment of the trees is done?
Jean Yves will know the answer.

You can also try this and delete the DOB of Robert and see what happens. ;)

Children are not correctly sorted when one of them does not have a birth date. The technicians have been informed.
