Sort descendents Family or Descendants View

At least RM7 had an additional function to “sort” children in the Family View. How can I sort them in RM10, given the large family I have right now with more than ten children, some stillborn or died early, and new ones showing up in source that don’t really match the list I have so far …

It seems, RM10 lists them according to my entering their details (i.e. RIN), not dob.

Thanks for your advice.

Update:
I found this feature now in RM10, but hidden with the “Add Child” function in the Family View. It allows to sort manually and by dob. But I don’t seem to be able to find this function outside of entering a newborn person in a family.

Thank you for your two hints, I found it now:
On the “View” tab > Edit icon > Rearrange Spouse / Children.
working after highlighting a father or mother of the family.
