Looking at a typical situation I've found is that the Ancestor & Descendant count often are inserted between fact dates. I have tried to use the UP & Down arrows after clicking on a fact but this does not always work.
How can I make the counts always appear at the bottom of the list of facts that appear per Individual please ?
Preferably to apply against all of the individuals in the Project ?

Re: Sorting by dates of facts not always working
Have you checked the "Normal Time" setting on these facts?. I believe these need to be set to "Post Death" to appear after other facts - this is the setting I have on my "Medal (Posthumous)" fact and it auto appears after the Death fact.

Further to Brents reply, the Up/Down arrows are only active when multiple facts have the same date, otherwise facts are automatically sorted on entry into date order.
i.e. entering the place and occupation for a census, the arrows allow you to order these facts how you want them: Place then Occupation or Occupation then Place.

Re: Sorting by dates of facts not always working
But the solution here does not involve using up/down arrows in every Individual Property Box.
It needs the Tools > Fact Types entries for the Ancestor/Descendant Count custom attributes to be edited such that their Normal Time Frame is Post-Death. Then it may be necessary to use the Tools > Re-order Out-of-Sequence Data... command.

Re: Sorting by dates of facts not always working
Thanks
yes a combination of editing Ancestor & Descendant fact type to post death and up and down arrows and reorder all
Works great

Re: Sorting by dates of facts not always working
Sorry to jump on this thread but I'm interested in these two facts. I presume they're ones you created yourself, since I can't find them listed. If so, is there a way to include a function which calculates the number of ancestors or descendants at all or do you add them up & insert the number manually, as one does with the "Child Count" or "Marriage Count" fact? Thanks for any help on this.

Sue, see Count of Ancestors and Decendanats for any generations (17522) for the background.
