Places Format

Classification: Query
I have questions on the “Place” Screen in FTM.

• Does FTM assume that a Place is in a standardize format?
like Town, County, State, Country?

• On the Places (Manage Places) Screen in the listing of places on the left-hand side, is it possible change the order County, State, County, Town and then sort?

One of your competitors has this capability and it is quite useful. First, it groups the most similar places together and permits more effective editing. Second, it permits you to associate relatives and places better than the standard order.

• Now look on the right-hand side of the screen, it gives a name and short name. I would like to have the name
“Tazewell, Claiborne County, Tennessee, United States”
and the short name automatically be
“Tazewell, Claiborne, TN, US”

In the long name, we would spell out the state and country name and attach the word “County”. In the short name, the state and country would use standard abbreviations and “County” would be eliminated. Does FTM give the ability to automate this long name to short name conversion in some fashion? Does it have anything like this capability?

Please point me in the direction of the appropriate documentation, if available.

Thank you in advance.
