respect to any other tables. Individuals can have a reference to their parent
individuals, if present these references must be valid or null (-1).

Individuals must be sorted such that parents are before children.
Sorting a set of tables using {meth}`TableCollection.sort` will ensure that
this requirement is fulfilled.

particular order, and sorting a set of tables using {meth}`TableCollection.sort`
has no effect on individuals. However, individuals can be optionally sorted
using {meth}`TableCollection.sort_individuals`.
