I have imported various gedcoms and exported partial trees and then re-imported them into my main archive and have ended up with lots of very long ID numbers and huge gaps of unused numbers and I would like to change them all and start from 1 again in Alfabetical order but can't see how to do this or is it even possible ?

| I think that GenoPro gives its own unique numbers to every individual on the family tree. You can number them as you wish. There is no automated way to do this. The easy way is to enter the individual table layout and do it from there.

| Thanks for the tip. Actually I found the solution by copying my main archive to another folder renaming it backup in case of problems, then viewing the family table layout and deleting the ID column followed by a save. When I opened the same table again, all the ID's had been remade from fam00001 up to fam02174. I did the same with the individuals list and the same thing happened starting with ind00001 untill ind07157 so the problem is solved! Phew!:P I think this might help any others with the same problem.

By default, GenoPro finds the largest ID in the family tree and uses that number to generate the missing IDs. For instance, if you have the ID ind07157, then GenoPro will use 7158, 7159 and so on for the next IDs.The solution to get fresh new IDs is to go to the Table Layout, click on the column ID, and select the menu item Erase Column. This action will whipe all the IDs in that column. Next time you save, GenoPro will automatically re-assign new IDs.
Note: The code to erase a column is not optimized and not undo-friendly. In other words, don't count on the Undo if you wish to undo your action. If you are not sure, save your work before so you can close your .gno if you don't like the changes. Eventually, I will to re-write the this piece of code  .

| Thanks Dan, this is exactly what I discovered and did, though your graphic explanation will be more useful to others than mine!
