But I cant do this because I can't search the location list for only the Angus locations. And there is no way that I can recall all of the Angus locations I've entered You say I can sort the locations list? Maybe someone need to tell me how to do that, because I can't figure that out. Also, given that I do not have empty fields in my locations , ie "Oathlaw, , Angus, Scotland", I just have "Oathlaw, Angus, Scotland" is this going to affect any sorting process? And no, I do not want o have the extra , , in all of my locations when they are not needed.
