Here in England we don't have states so how would we sort. I think that the 
programmers should be careful not to make this wonderful program USA centric 
or it will lose lot of customers

each part of a location.
Boy, Cathy you and I sure have different views of this issue!
I think a separate field for each location part is a good thing, just
like it's a good thing for names.
Seems to me that it solves your sorting problems.  You just say
Sort by counties, and all the Washington counties go together,
whether they were in the same state or not.  Or you could
sort first on counties and then on states.  Then all the Washington
counties in New York would be together and all the Washington
counties in Ohio wold be togther but the NY and OH counties
would be separate from each other, etc.
Tell me what I'm missing here!
