Landscape view

When you look up Margaret Susan Casteel Female 6 March 1852 – 27 August 1923 LHZW-3C9 in Family Tree (FT) and look at her tree in the landscape view, her mother is on the top box of the pedigree, and her father is on the bottom box. Why is this, and can this be corrected?

Sometimes the order of the parents gets switched through merges and/or updating participants in relationships. You can switch the parent order to be the standard order by going to Margaret's person page (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LHZW-3C9). Then in the Parents and Siblings area of the Family Members section, click on the pencil icon to the right of Margaret. That will show this screen:

Choose "Switch Parent Positions" (near the bottom, circled in red) to change the order of her parents.
