landscape pedigree format on Family Tree is broken, wife position is reversed

Carol Hutchinson said: landscape pedigree format on Family Tree is broken, wife position is reversed. I am female, and when the landscape tree comes up, I am on the top and husband is on the bottom. This goes against every pedigree chart I have ever used. I suppose some woman complained, so you changed this for everyone?? Well, I am complaining and want it fixed. Or at least give us the option to have the woman in the correct home position with her family on the bottom half of the page, with the husband's family on the top half of the landscape pedigree page. Thanks.

It seems that they are working on it.

In the interim, here is a 'workaround' ...

As I posted in the aforementioned post indicated by 'Jeff'.

Here is "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" that may help:

How do I switch parent or spouse positions to change the display of family lines in Family Tree?

------------------
Information:

By default, in the pedigree landscape view, the name of a male spouse or parent appears above the name of the female spouse or parent. In portrait view, the male name appears to the left of the female name. Structuring the couple relationship this way affects how the rest of the family line displays. In landscape view, paternal lines move diagonally upward; maternal lines, by contrast, move diagonally downward.

In male-female relationships, you cannot change this arrangement. You can, however, change the arrangement for **** relationships, or in relationships where a female would traditionally display in the male's position. In the landscape view, for example, you can choose which spouse or parent to list on top and which to list on the bottom. In portrait view, you can choose which spouse or parent to situate on the left and which to situate on the right.

Steps (website)

1. Navigate to the Person page of one of the spouses.
2. Scroll down to the Family Members box.
3. Click the pencil icon on the right of the box containing the couple relationship or the parent-child relationship.
4. Under Tools, click Switch Spouse Positions.
5. Enter your reason for the change of positions, and then click Save.

Steps (mobile)

1. Navigate to the Person page of one of the spouses or children.
2. Tap Spouses or Parents.
3. Tap the down arrow for the spouse.
4. Tap the pencil icon.
5. Tap Switch.

I hope it does.

The way that FS controls this is that in a male-female relationship, the "Switch Spouse Positions" button is not there under the tools.

So until they fix this exact problem that Joe was referring to, it appears that nothing can be done yet.
