** The {{man label|Proposed Sort}} pane (lower right side) will show the proposed changes to the children sort. If the user wants to make additional changes, they can be made directly in the pane. Adjusting the sort manually can be done by selecting a child and using either the {{man button|Up}} or {{man button|Down}} buttons below the pane. When you are satisfied with the changes, if any, you can use the {{man button|Accept}} button to save the proposed sort order to the database.
* Many times, the user will not feel a need to make manual changes, the proposed sort order if acceptable. The tool offers two buttons that allow the user to accept some or all of the listed families.
** The {{man button|Accept All *}} button will accept all the families that have a '<code>*</code>' (Asterisk) next to them. In these families all the children have valid birth dates so that sorting can be done unambiguously. When this button is used, a progress bar appears so that with large databases Gramps doesn't seem to be frozen.
** The {{man button|Accept All}} button will accept '''all''' the families, even those with some missing or invalid birth dates. In these cases, the sorted results is the same as shown in the lower right 'Proposed sort' pane. That is, children with invalid or missing birth dates will be sorted first, followed by those with valid dates. When this button is used, a progress bar appears so that with large databases Gramps doesn't seem to be frozen.
* If you do not want any changes to be made to your data, or you are done with the tool, you can simply press the {{man button|Done}} button.
Use:
* The Family Editor [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Children|Children]] tab to change the order of children in the family.
* This third party addon [[Addon:BirthOrderTool|Birth Order Tool]] which allows bulk updates of the children order.
