Sibling-view family lines frequently overlapping and in wrong order
I've noticed the lines in the new sibling view are frequently overlapping, making it nearly impossible to tell which family is which. Here are screenshots of one example of when this happens:

It seems to only take a few minutes of messing with the tree before something like this happens.
One solution I would suggest would be ALWAYS displaying EVERY sibling from oldest to youngest. This would make it much easier to view as a user and would most likely simplify the internal code. Right now, the current person is placed on the end, but this probably isn't necessary. There was a post trying to explain why it's like this, but there are ways around the issues it may cause. Yes, it would block the sibling view of the spouse, but I think it would make most sense to only be able to view the siblings of either the husband or wife at one time, not both. A similar thing has already been done in the Portrait view where only one set of parents can be viewed at a time.
I'm excited to see this new Sibling View option! I will definitely be using it more and more as the layout is cleaned up. But personally, I would highly recommend keeping the siblings in ONE order, for the ease of the user and the display.
Edit: Here's an example of how I would imagine it looking:

There have been many updates to the Sibling Tree (now Portrait (BETA)). Check out how the tree works now and if you still have issues with it, please start a new post in this group.
