Sort Options for Group Attendance

Group

I would like some sort options for the Group Attendance screen. Currently the names are sorted by last name, but I would like the option to sort by Family Name. Ideally it would be sorted by Family Name, Head of Household, then Age Classification.

The use case for this would be taking worship attendance for the whole church. Most members of a family share the same last name, but in my church we also have the following:

  • A mother with children from previous marriages (3 last names in the family)
  • A family with several long term foster children (4 last names)
  • A grandmother who brings multiple grandchildren (about 6 last names)

Sorting by Family Name would also unscramble people from multiple families that share the same last name (e.g.: the Jon Smith family and the Bob Smith family).
