Family member row numbers NOT in order

In 3 different states, when I'm trying to review family members, each family member has the correct row number, BUT in the review form the row numbers are not in numerical order. This makes it very difficult for me to make sure that I am getting checking the information for the appropriate person. Any suggestions?

    This seems to be a new glitch. I've only had it happen starting today.

    agree with original poster - this "un-ordering" of family members makes it much more difficult and time consuming to verify a family. I did a family with four children that were almost random in order, wife came first husband (head) was last and the children were randomly distributed in between. My guess is it took me twice as long to do this family because of the constant double checking to make sure I was on the correct census line than a normal family would have taken. Wondering if there is any feedback from those in charge - will this be fixed if we wait awhile or should we assume that the random family presentation will continue

    Down load a online ruler to your computer so you can follow each person so you are checking the information.

    Engineering are looking into this problem. You can skip the households when you see that issue, they are very hard to review that way. Thank you.
