Oganization of watchlist

Question

I don't know whether I am missing something but similar names in my watchlist are organized in order of when they were added/amended and not on d of b or alphabetical order of 2nd forename. My wife's German family took unimaginative naming to extremes such that my watchlist contains 133 people named Johann Bangert and a further 43 called Johannes Bangert. Hence the method of organization makes it extremely difficult to go straight to the record for any one individual and can often mean wading through the whole lot before isolating the record I am searching for.

Simply put, is it possible to change the order of records, and if so, how do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

I can click on the various watchlist columns -- name, birthdate, edit date, privacy level -- and sort them ascending or descending by clicking again on the little arrow that appears on the selected coumn name. If that's not working, I don't know what else might be going on.

Yes, I can do that. What I can't seem to do is to organize the various Johanns etc. into any logical sequence within the name. What I would like would be something in this kind of order; surname - first foename - second forename - date of birth. I just can't see any mechanism for doing that and the standard formual based on date of amendment just doesn't help me much.

Ah, I see. Yes, that would be nice, but it doesn't look like there's a way to sort on multiple columns.
