Not sure what you mean by this. Sorting the Location List is only a tool. So there is no "proper way" to sort. That's like saying there is a "proper way" to sort vegetables. One could sort alphabetically, by size, by weight, by color, etc. Which is "proper"? It depends. Sounds like you are hung up on setting the sort order of the list and never/ever changing it again. Even if I did use a strict 4 division method, there are times when I would want to see the list sorted by city. And other times by state. And still other times by country. >My kind of four division method works very well "out of the >box" with TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding). Don't know how TNG handles locations so I can't comment on the pro's and con's of how it is affected by the number of commas in a location. This would have nothing to do with the sort setting in Legacy. -- 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
