It's not getting controversial ... although this does get discussed quite often on the LUG. And telling the UK listers that they are doing it wrong is always a mistake. ;-) The moment you brought it up I smiled and thought to myself ... "I hope he is wearing his flak jacket." Then I started counting down from 10 ... waiting for Ron's inevitable reply. I personally don't use right to left sorting. But I know others who do and it works for them. I use left to right sorting (without problems) and find myself changing the sort order all the time depending on my needs. Keep in mind the sort order is just a tool that helps you locate a location. It is not meant to be set to one value and never touched again. >Maybe some of you record everything totally different like >California, Los Angeles instead of Los Angeles, California ?? AFAIK, the sort order on the Location List screen ONLY affects how that list is displayed. You still enter them in the various location fields in left to right order. So this is not a problem at all. Maybe this is the point you are missing. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
