Searching people in my tree by death date?

Someone posted a death notice for my grandmother's cousin who died of influenza in 1918, which got me wondering how many people in my tree died between 1918 - 1920 of the flu.

Any ideas? If not, is it possible to do one of the discovery campaigns to show us that data?

In light of the current pandemic, it would be a really eye-opening discovery.

I currently do not know of any way to do that using the FamilySearch site. However...

You can download your ancestral lines into one of the free versions of the three fully certified family tree management programs (Ancestral Quest, Legacy, and Roots Magic) and use that to sort the people list by death date (I think).

I use the paid version of Ancestral Quest and can easily sort by death date. The search capability gives me the ability to search on a death date range and list those persons in a printout.
