I don't use Geoff's method - my Sources are sorted first by type, eg Birth Index, Census, Website etc. If you want to use a variant of Geoff's approach without having, as you say, Find a Grave between Connecticut and Florida you could precede each title with the word Location, Website, etc then all States/Cities would be alphabetical in the Location section, all Websites alphabetical in their section and so on. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
