Suggestion for Private People List - Search for Living w/No Birthdate

This is a suggestion for the Private People List.

The new filter is great, however, it is very difficult to navigate to the people that have no-birthdate, especially if you have a large amount of people in this list.

I would like to review living-people-without-birthdates in order to add approximate birthdates if possible. An additional Sort-By button under Options would be great. Another possibility that would work is the addtion of a jump-to-page option.

Thank you.

    I find, as I assume you have, that when the list is sorted by birthdate, people without birth dates are at the bottom of the list whether the list is sorted ascending or descending.

    Since an absent birth date could be viewed as a birth date of negative infinity, would it be possible to have people without birth dates be at the top of the list with an ascending sort and at the bottom with a descending sort?

    That is also another great option. Thanx!

    @Tiffany Farnsworth Nash are you referring to the list of people you are following?

    I believe the Person List has now changed names to Private People. It is different from the Document Viewer. The Private People List shows a list of Living Persons that you have added to the FS Family Tree.

    When you click on Options you can select to sort by 'Date of Birth' but I would like to work on finding dates-of-birth for those that are just listed as 'living' and don't have a 'Date of Birth'.

    Additionally, I currently have 179 pages and it would be very nice to change to a different page instead of having to scroll through pages.
