In the focus window the birth column shows the baptized date if no birth date is available. This is great and I would very much like that feature to be also available in the children's window of the property box and also to be able to sort on these dates as well.
As for entry of a baptize date in the children's field of the property box, maybe something of a prefix (~ maybe?) could be used to indicate that the date is not a birth date, but a baptized date when entering a date.

Re: showing and sorting of baptized date for children
Could this be satisfied by adding Baptism and Burial to Timeline facts?

Re: showing and sorting of baptized date for children
I would be wary of a prefix that has to be "understood"; I understand "~" to be be another indication of "about". What is wrong with the prefix "bap." - I think there is usually space?
I would caveat this with the warning that you have to be certain that your "baptism" events all relate to infant baptisms and not adult baptisms (as for instance practised in the Baptist church). I see on V6 that I have standard facts Baptism, Christening and Christening (adult). The later seems to be the anomaly - I would have expected Baptism (adult).
Even "infant baptisms" can be deferred - I have instances of a family "getting a batch christened" when some of those "infants" are in fact several years old.

I've put this on hold as the OP hasn't responded to any comments.
