View > Master Lists > Location The sort options are on that screen using the sort button That is also where both Michele and I gave you a way to find those using the locations. Michele by selecting each in turn and I by using CTRL-Click with the mouse to select every location containing Angus County then, with all the locations selected use the Option Button (Not the List Option Button) to select Show list. That will show everyone using the selected locations which is what you are looking for.
