Your Generic Terms solution may be a solution for even USA locations. I have many locations that go past the normal Country, State, County, City; such as Hospital, Church, Cemetery, or building. Many of these have latitude-longitude values available and would simplify my current Cemetery designations such as Abernathy in Abernathy Cemetery, Lubbock County, Texas, USA. I Sort so that the Country is on the Left so that I can see all state/county locations alphabetically. Has anyone else tried generic for USA locations, or will it "freak out" the GeoDatabase?

I use: House Number/Building, Street, District, Town, County, Post Code, Country So mine would be: York & District Hospital, , , York, North Yorkshire, , England For the short Location names I take out all the spare commas. I use "Generic Terms" instead of "USA Terms" on the Location Sort Options and set them into this order: Position 7 Position 5 Position 4 Position 3 Position 2 Position 1 Position 6 Position 8 Position 9 Then the Location list gets sorted in this order: Country, County, Town, District, Street, House Number/Building, Post Code, Position 8, Position 9 (8 & 9 I don't use anyway) Which means the example appears as: England, North Yorkshire, York, , , York & District Hospital, My only niggle with doing it this way is that reports won't take out multiple commas with spaces ", , ". Maybe a suggestion for the future? Also I would love to be able to manually rename those "Positions". Why are the USA ones named, and the others aren't?
