I use township only for individuals who lived in rural areas, and then I use it 
in place of the town/city.  So I would enter:

Colfax Twp., Harrison Co., Missouri

As Kirsten mentioned, since I use the right to left sort on my locations list, 
this allows my place list to read, for example:

Missouri, Harrison Co., Colfax Twp.
Missouri, Harrison Co., Eagleville
Missouri, Harrison Co., Marion Twp.
Missouri, Harrison Co., Ridgeway

etc.  It would work the same way if I added the country.

The locations, of course, print in reports (and on Family View, for example) in 
proper left to right sequence.
