I entered twins in the correct order; Family Search switched the boy to be first.

I looked in your questions in one it said discussion CLOSED. I found this below in that discussion. I did enter them in the correct order and Family search switched them. With no way to change and NO feedback link available. What can I do?

"As far as I am aware, MULTIPLE "Births" appear in the "order" that they were "Entered"/"Created" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'."

    @Tricia Wilkinson can you provide one of the relevant Family Tree PIDs please, so that someone here can have a look?

    I’m pretty sure that twins are arranged alphabetically. There is no way to change that. The ability to set a custom order has been requested a few times in the past.

    By the way, this is the same way that children with no birth dates at all and couple with no marriage dates are handled. Children without birth dates are arranged alphabetically after all the children with birth dates and couples without marriage dates are arranged alphabetically by spouse's names after all couple boxes with dates.
