One of the major challenges of DNA matching is discovering the common ancestor. Although taking DNA tests has been extremely popular, many of those who take a test fail to add a family tree making the discovery of a common ancestor even more difficult. The new Sorting for Shared DNA Matches from MyHeritage.com is a valuable tool for users interested in figuring out how they’re related to a specific DNA match. The new sorting functionality enables you to sort your Shared DNA Matches based on the proximity of their relationship to you or to the DNA Match you’re reviewing and gain new insights.

The value of this feature increases with the difficulty you face in finding people you are related to.
However, quoting from the MyHeritage.com blog article referenced above,
Shared DNA Matches is a premium feature that requires a site subscription on MyHeritage (Premium, PremiumPlus, or Complete). If you uploaded your raw DNA data to MyHeritage from another service, you can pay a one-time unlock fee of $29 to access Shared DNA Matches, Ethnicity Estimates, Genetic Groups, and other advanced tools for DNA results such as the Chromosome Browser, Theory of Family Relativity™, and AutoClusters. Learn more about our subscription plans here.
Sorting is a significant step towards identifying a common ancestor. Every new innovation from MyHeritage adds real value to the website.
