Ron, The reason is precisely that given in the answer to Sylvia's question ie. to make finding a location very easy when viewing the Location List - it then reads, Country, County, Town, Parish, Street (using English location style).
One can change the name order should you wish using Options>Customise>Dates, but I choose not to - I use the English format.
