How in Linux do you indicate to the custom sort panel that you need it to
utilise one of the custom sort lists - all I see in your image is sort on a
date column.
There's nothing there to even indicate the presence of any user-defined sort
lists.
Perhaps you could try creating a sort list of names based on your childrens'
ages so you could also sort according to that without having to store their
dob.

Try a user sort list of:-

James
Sara
Thomas
Matthew
Hannah

and then use the filter sort, it will undoubtedly give:-

Hannah
James
Matthew
Sara
Thomas

Because even in your screen image, there's no way to tell LO "use my sort
list".

Also for consideration, if using the sort list and an item isn't contained in
that list - How would it be sorted?

Ignore it?
Sort A-Z or Z-A before or after the sort list entries?
Sort A-Z or Z-A within the appropriate empty spaces of the "valid" sort
entries?
