What a convoluted time consuming way that could easily be solved using one simple search for "Individual > Any Place > Contains > Angus" that I can think print out a list of names from and the whole process is over and done with in 2 minutes tops.
I'm glad that some people have been able to keep there Locations list in an organised way so that they can simply sort it and get all the Angus locations together - why do you think I need to have an "Any Place" search ability? So I can get my locations sorted and organised and standardised. (As well as other reasons) I've just spent 10 minutes tying to find all my Angus locations as you suggested - I doubt I even have half of them yet - because of the non-standard way the locations have been entered over time If I have to do this for every single possible location - I'll go stark raving nuts! Please Legacy, just add in a "Any Place" option for the search and you wont have people getting frustrated like I am.
