Hi, Sherry Thanks for the clarification.
If I understand correctly, the reasons for doing it the "correct" way are because a well-established book says so, Sort doesn't work properly and the Expand/contract parts won't work. The book, although I haven't read it, is probably geared mainly towards the American system and I gave up on the four field convention ages ago because it simply doesn't work in the UK and Australia where most of my events happened. Sorting right-to-left works perfectly. I simply can't imagine sorting left to right. All towns with the same name from around the world will sort together. I never use expand/contract so that doesn't matter. Your suggestion to use the description and notes fields would be good, it they weren't already jammed full of other things. Almost all my event sentences use Notes and Description for other things, leaving only the location field for the full address. That was one of the factors driving my event sentence redesign suggestion, which seems to have withered on the vine. Thanks again for the clarification, but I think I'll keep doing it the "incorrect" way.
