    I believe only if they were born either side of midnight! Otherwise, based on the same date of birth, they will appear alphabetically.

    The problem also applies to children with no known birthdates. Unfortunately, the Family Tree program does not allow us to pick an order for twin or unknown births. A shame, especially when you know the order of the children's births.

    Incidentally, a similar position applies to marriage events - where the earlier date will always appear on the profile page - providing no option, say, to pick a preferred civil event over a religious one (or vice versa) from the Couple Relationship area, if that was the later event.

    I create a custom fact. I name the twin in each.
