Children birth order was created by brentsbaxter
Children in a family appear in the order that they were entered into webtrees, regardless of their birth order.

Is there a way to reorder them by birth date?

Yes, certainly. Go the Family page for that family, and look under the "Edit" menu in the main menu row for "Re-order children". You can either drag them to a different order, or simply select "sort by birth date")

Found it. Click on the family and edit by using the "reorder children" menu item.

Sorry for the bogus question.

No problem - we're all learning...

You can also achieve the same on the "Relatives" tab for any individual. "Re=order children" is at the bottom of the list of children there.

Also, there is a mechanics to the add children that, if they have birth information (at least a year), they will be added in chronological order, not entry order. Only if they lack DOB data would they appear in the date that they are entered. As you have discovered, there is a GUI to reorder children, either by date order, or if dates do not exist for all, by any ordering as you wish by dragging the person up or down.
