In Japan, we determine older/younger brothers or sisters even for they will be twins.
Therefore we will ask them who's the older brother/sister.
In the past, the way to decide who was older depended on the order in which each child was born, but recently, the child born first is made to be the elder sibling.
I think it sounds more natural.
In the past, apparently the child who appeared in the womb first would be called the elder sibling.
Japanese want to decide their superiors or inferiors, nevertheless they were born roughly in the same time.
Oh, I didn't know Australia and Japan are the same.Thank you for your information.
In the past, it was decided that the child (who was) born second was the elder sibling, but now, the child born first is considered older.
