Gramps AIO64-6.0.4–1, Win 11 Pro Just ran the updated [Reports\>Text Reports\>Detailed Descendant Report](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_6#Detailed_Descendant_Report) and it looked pretty good. My question is whether it might be possible to optionally rearrange the narrative sentence order a little bit, so that the “marriage” fact comes before the death facts? While I understand that birth and death info is key for many genealogists, it seems a little strange to read in the paragraph about the marriage only after the subject person has “died” and been buried. Example: “[Name] was born in 1883 in [Place-1]. She died on 1954-01-07 in [Place12] at the age of 71 years, 6 days. She was buried after 1954-01-07 in [Place-3]. She was the daughter of [Father] and [Mother]. She married [Spouse] about 1905.” [Actual names & places removed for privacy] ---

See > [@Custom detailed descendant report](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/custom-detailed-descendant-report/6901): > > Hi everybody, I am totally new to Gramps and I am trying to figure a way to customize some fields in the detailed descendant report since my tree is quite large and I want to make the final report as short and comprehensive as possible. For example, I would like to change fields such as the word “born” into “\*”, or another example, when showing a spouse, to show his/her name, parents name and dates (just data, not full sentences). Is there any file I can edit for such type of tweaking? P.S. I … ---

Out of curiosity I checked out the reference. Unfortunately the ‘Adapt a built-in Report’ wiki page is blank. ---
