Peggy, Yes I do! But, there is a trick, go to View>Master Lists>Location then click the Sort Button, and on the bottom right you will see an option to sort from right to left, set that. Then check the little box next to the Sort Button.
So, the location list will no longer read eg. Sault Ste Marie, Soo Township, Chippewa County, Michigan, United States But United States, Michigan, Chippewa County, Soo Township, Sault Ste Marie Perfectly readable and in a much more sensible order! Not to mention more flexible. I stress that this only changes the sort order in the list and makes absolutely no difference to how it reads in reports, web sites, GEDCOMs, nor does it affect the Geo-locator.

In fact I have a question that I don't have time to ask, so will ask later, because the help file (concerning locations) that I just looked at directs me to an option that isn't there. It seemed that I could stick to the standard four just for the USA and use something else (after I understand better what works) for other countries. I haven't been looking at the Geo locator because it didn't seem to help much when I tried it a few days ago. Ron, do you mean, if I use more than the four fields, I can still sort by the county, country, etc? I will look at the "sort" feature and try it for myself, but unfortunately a lot of locations came in from ancestry in a way that will probably mess it up. It's my gedcom from my tree on ancestry.com that I imported into a file in legacy and am trying to work with. And I haven't even started to check the history of the places to see if the location is correct for the time. I could maybe tag a few files that are correct, try edit a few to five fields (putting township in one) and see what happens. (If I can sort just the tagged fields.) The problem is there are so many new things to learn and I hardly know where to start. As I mentioned in another email, if tech support can help me get the video set working, that I bought some time ago , I will watch them before I go any further and hopefully have a better idea of what I'm doing. I'm glad County Down is correct. I'd hate to lose the sound/look of that! It has an Irish flavor.
