Details: I was THRILLED by the recent change to add "suggested reason codes" on the Merge process. The new merge is MUCH IMPROVED over the old one and I believe will cut down on a lot of incorrect merges besides being much easier to use.
So now I would suggest that, if possible, "suggested reason statements" be added to other places a reason is there (almost every change in Family Tree)--attaching a source, removing a source, restoring a person, adding a birth, christening, marriage, death, or christening, adding a spouse or a child, removing a spouse or a child. It amazes me how many people do not fill out a reason statement or just key in something like "same person" or "matches".
Suggestion two--having caught the "spirit" of memories in some classes taught by the Headquarters Mission Training Zone, I have added a lot more photos of my parents. I see that it is now easy to add a standard date. Could an option be added to the "Memory Tab" to sort the memories by the standard date when it is there? It would create a chronological order much like that which now appears in the sources since dates were added there. It would also make it easier to identify a relative who has added the same photo as someone else and send messages to work out whether or not both photos should be left.
Thank you,

You may look at my mother's "Memory Tab" (PID KWCZ-7PW Emma Jacobs) to see why I believe the date sort on memories would be helpful.
