It would be great if memories on a persons page could be automatically sorted by date

    What date would you use for sorting? If several people compose a life-story for individual that includes multiple events from the person's life; what date would you attach to these memories?

    I am talking more about the photos and documents in the memory section of each persons page. So that when you put in a photo or document, hopefully people will date them, then they will be in chronological order. It would make for a great way to view those photos or documents as then it will be like a life story in photos and documents rather than by the date they were put on the persons page.

    I have been wishing for this suggestion to come true for years. I like to add copies of the church book records to add credibility to my entries in the Vitals section, and the documents are more helpful when they are in chronological order.

    Memories can be added as sources & tagged to some vital events.
