Millennia/Legacy is too hung up on the 4-part locations which really only apply to the USA and even then there are many exceptions! With more international users Legacy will have to change this overly-rigid concept. My locations are exactly as *I* want them -- be it in 3, 4, 5 or even more parts. I keep the Master Location sort direction set at "Right to Left" and so far everything has worked just fine. Obviously I'm smart enough to have the country in the last position, which is something many Americans don't bother to do with their "USA" -- then they get all upset when CA gets interpreted as Canada!!
