I have several hundred IGI records which I want to separate by location. Baptisms are easy but I can not see how to collect marriages. On the Union tab you can sort by location but clicking on any cell does not select that Union in the display.
The Marriage tab does not contain any location information and so does not help. If you click a cell there you do get to the display.
The only way I have found is to select the Union tab and sort and then move back to the marriage tab to select the data to move to a new Genomap. Tedious. Have I missed the obvious?

You have not missed anything. The Union record is "pure data" with no visible components, like the individual or the family object. Can you please elaborate more and I will think of what solution can be done to "Select by Union Place".

How about this method? 1st ensure you only have one family reference per union by opening unions table layout and sorting on references. Edit any union showing more than 1 reference via the associated family records and add a unique comment so that a new union is cloned for that family. Continue until all unions only have one family reference i.e. no 'shared' unions. With the Unions table sorted on the References column copy the 'union place' column. Now switch to the families table view and sort on Unions column to achieve the same order. Now paste the copied column into a spare custom tag column. You can now sort the family table by 'union place' by sorting on this custom tag column. You can then remove any unique comment added to unions and later clear the custom tag column.

For the present I will try Ron's idea but this is not a straightforward case, particularly as the IGI are notorious for duplicating records.
It seems to me that the simplest way would be to have a column available on the Family tag containing Marriage Place equal to Union Place. The date already appears in both places as either Marriage Date or Union Date.
