You may agree or not, but the fact is that within Legacy, using 2 commas between elements of a location indicates that an element is empty, not that that element doesn't exist. > > If you can truly do that with a right to left sort without regard to how > many divisions are used, can someone provide some concrete examples on a > website or a snippet of your Legacy code off-line or something?

Because I've never had a need to do so, I had overlooked that it is possible to sort Legacy locations according to different elements, not just alphabetically left-to-right or right-to-left.
