How do  change the children names so that they are displayed in order of age? For some of lines it has them all mixed up.

It places them from left to right in the order you add them, and as far as I know, it remains this way unless you add birth years, in which case it arranges them in order of birth.  It would be convenient if we could manipulate the order without that, though.

If you don't know the actual dates of birth, but you know the birth order, I would advise just putting numbers in the DOB years' section, e.g. the oldest child is 1; the second child is 2, etc. This will arrange the children in birth order and is easy to decipher when viewing the whole tree.

Hope this helps!
