Trying to Rearrange ordering on TO-DO list

Question

Well I made a To-Do List for all the Rowley profiles I am responsible for. Now I would like to change the ordering to be by inverse birth dates, meaning starting with the oldest dates and working the most recent dates.

I changed the ordering under Class so that Birth is first and Name is second. It seems to have no effect.

I would also like to know what the format or whatever it is called so that I could create a table on my own. I couldn't find anything in any of the help areas that would assist me with this and this is the nearest I've come to one. I don't want to import a table that I can't change and link with wikitree.

Hi Judy,

It appears to me that you just swapped the headings for the Name and Birth columns, but the data is still in the same columns. I suggest swapping the column names back to get back to where you were and save it. Then when you are viewing your space page, you can click on any heading arrow to sort by that column. Click again to reverse the sort order based on that column. Keep in mind that blank or empty cells will sort those rows first (if ascending).

Also the To-Do list is a table. The person profile text box editor has an icon for creating a table (hover over the icons for their names). Tho I'm not sure if the free-space text box editor has the same icons.

Hope this helps!

Where is Tables under Help? or does that merit a question?
