I know how to update the birth order in the profile but my tree still shows my father's younger brother before him in the tree, even though his birth order number shows that he is younger. How do I move my uncle from the left side of my father to the right side of my father?

Larry Dantus I believe this is because you are looking at your (not your father's) tree. When you look at your tree, it is from your perspective, that is, you and above you, your parents (father on left, mother on right). From there, the paternal siblings branch out only to the left and maternal only to the right. It would look bizarre to have your father then to the right his brother (and presumably his children and their children) then further to the right, your mother, etc. If your mother had ten older sisters and your father had ten younger brothers...and each of the ten had large families, your parents would be separated and it would take a few minutes to scroll back and forth to see each of your parents on the tree.
Now, if you were to click so you can view your father's tree, I assume the birth order shows correctly.

Pavan Nihalani Thank you Larry D, that makes perfect sense.
