Almost done the Numbering options. Working now on the “Within Families” option. Within a family, I currently have it implemented as ordering it by “Ancestor Order”. That is where it starts with the earliest ancestor on the father’s father’s … side, and works down to end with the earliest on the mother’s mother’s … side. The two other options here for the first version of Behold will be: “Surname Order” and “Ahnentafel Order”.

Ahnentafel Order works up generation by generation: First with the subject, then with the parents, then father’s parents, mother’s parents, father’s father’s parents, etc. This was implemented way back in my earliest versions and I still had the code except it was commented out. Adding the option and testing it, I found it still worked with only one small bug that was easy to fix. That’s now done.
