Children in Context Menu are not ordered chronologically

@bjc49

I notice that when calling the Children context menu on one of the members of a family the list no longer appears according to the chronology of births
Is this a regression?

I have no idea. It is a feature that I have never used.

In that family, are the children in order in the Relationships view?

They might be in “record creation” order (or even alpha-sorted order) in the Context menu.

In the relationship view the children are well sorted
In graphview as in pedigreeview in disorder same list
I had never paid attention to it because navigation in graphview is more immediate

By default, graphview uses a library that specializes in mathematical graphs.
The goal of this library is to rearrange all nodes to minimize space.
So, in most cases, your sorted data will no longer be sorted.

@SNoiraud

graphview uses a library

But is that same library used when building the Context subMenus (or the “Jump to child” button menu) in the Pedigree view mode in Charts?

It seem like there could be some sorting challenges when building and sorting of the context menu items in the 5 submenus: Spouses, Siblings, Parents, Related. Particularly if there are blended families making it even more complex.

(The sorting of the Related menu items probably isn’t an issue. Other than “Anderson Garner” from Associations, I don’t have any idea where the Related people originated.)

I noticed that in PedigreeView the order of the children is never the same from one to another
Using Graphview I’m worried about this order
I am only reporting this malfunction here for a Gramps user who says: "

@phgermain post_id=2583967 time=1714678382 user_id=10681

… I wanted to specify that the order of children proposed in the “Go to child…” graphics mode is completely loose compared to the recorded dates. And I’ll say it again, for over 20 years this is the first time this has happened to me…

Can anyone tell what People would be included in the “Related” submenu from the code? We do not have that documented in the Pedigree View section of the wiki.

Does this menus just include people who are Associated or share an Event with the current person? Maybe there are other ways to be added to the list. Or removed from the list. I presume that any Spouses, Sibs and Children would be excluded from the list of Related.

Or is there deeper criteria for the Roles or shared events? Like only Primary or Witness roles. (Since it calls a find_witnessed_people, maybe it is only looks for Witness roles in shared Events.) Or only People but not Family events.

(The submenu seems to be built near Line 2057 in the pedigreeview.py )
