* When the tool starts, it scans you data for families that need sorting. A progress bar appears so that with large databases Gramps doesn't seem to be frozen. This does not make '''any''' changes to your data, and only performs the search and fills the panes if unsorted families are found. Families with children in birth order are not shown. If some children in a family don't have valid birth dates, but others are in order, the family is not shown.

===Sort Children in Birth order dialog===

* The top pane will contain a list of the results of the search. If nothing appears here, then none of your families have unsorted children. Selecting a family from this list updates the data in the lower panes. It is also possible to sort this list for ID, Father, or Mother, using the header of the list.

* The {{man label|Current Sort}} pane (lower left side) will show the original unmodified list of children with their birth dates, if any. This cannot be changed.
