Works very well if you sort the list in reverse order - largest denomination to smallest - which is what I do. It even allows for a 5th field which I sometimes use (Ward in a city). If I need to search for a particular city, but don't know exactly where it is, I will just temporarily reverse my sort, search it, and then put it back after I'm done.
Would be nice if Legacy had a search function that would search for a given location name regardless of position, though. That would make the re-sorting unnecessary.

You can't sort correctly if you select a custom sort and the Expand/Contract Location Parts (under Options) won't work correctly.

If, say, I know that someone was born in Ohio, USA, I can enter it as Ohio, USA and Legacy will display and print it like that. but I can also enter it as , , Ohio, USA to show that the city and county are missing. And then I can have Legacy print it like that, or to strip away the leading commas. I generally enter just what I know, so I don't put in blank spaces. If I later find the name of a town where the person was born, I'll just add that, like Columbus, Ohio, USA. and not Columbus, , Ohio, USA -- Steve Hayes
