Subject: Person Page Sort Sequence by Surname
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 15:41:54 -0600


Just upgraded from SS version 1.4.0 to SS version 1.6.02 for eventual use
with TMG 5.15.

For this LAST edit of TMG 4.0d dataset (using SS 1.6.02 to prepare upload to
website), I discovered an odd alpha sort when Person Page Sequence is set to
"by Surname". This may have been discussed before.

It seems to occur when an entry has been made in the Name-Var Prefix field.
Since I've not uploaded the website, these are *examples* of the sort order
on the Person Pages:

Sarah Brough
William Brough
Capt (---) Brough
Capt William Brough
Thomas Butt

John Selden
Sarah Hancock Selden
Capt Joseph Selden
Dr William Boswell Selden
Rev William Selden
Agnes 'Aggy' Stringer

The alpha sort on the Full Name Index works as I would expect it to. Has
this been discussed? Has it been addressed or corrected in SS version
1.7.02?

Rae Jean ... in Tennessee

P.S. You are probably wondering why I didn't upgrade to SS v1.7.02. It is
because I want the person selected to be the first entry at the top of the
screen on the Person Page and it is my understanding that may not happen
with v1.7.02. I've read so many messages that I hope this isn't faulty
memory.
