I have been using Legacy since Version 2 and I'm still struggling with
finding a way to enter place names to show everything I want in a written
report but have them sort properly in the list.
My problem is that sometimes I have only 3 names with separating comas and
sometimes 5. If I do a reverse sort: Country, State, County, City it's a
mess.
For example--
3 places separated by comas:
Kirk Maughold Cemetery, Maughold, Isle of Man (Isle of man is it's own
country and not part of England as the Manx are quick to point out).
sorts to -
, Isle of Man, Maughold, Kirk Maughold
5 places separated by comas:
Elmwood Cemetery, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, USA.
sorts to:
Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, Elmwood Cemetery, USA
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada sorts to:
, Canada, Saskatchewan, Regina.
Most provinces in Canada do not have counties so almost everything is 3
places unless a cemetery is added to take up the 4th space.
Any suggestions or creative ideas would be most welcome. My biggest concern
is the sorting. If I want to make a list of people buried in various
cemeteries in Kansas City, MO, I'd like to find them grouped together in the
sort list rather than have to scroll through and try picking them out.
USA, Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, cemetery A
USA, Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, cemetery B
USA, Missouri, Jackson County, Kansas City, cemetery C
I hope I've explained this in a clear manner.
Thanks,
Kathy
