Sorting by address MLS and LDS tools
Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 1:38 am
Idea: enable smarter sorting by address in LDS tools and MLS so that is can sort by street name not just number.
Backstory:
As a YSA ward clerk we have been entering in addresses using both the street1 (house number) and street2 (street name) fields in MLS so that we can sort by street name and end up a fairly well organized list for assigning FHE groups, visiting routes, etc.
This could be implemented by having a separate field in the lds tools for house number, aprt, street name, box, like they do for some postal and account information.
Additionally this seems to cause some problems for our stake clerk when they print off lists as they usually only include street1 (so he has to enable street2 just for our ward) And it apparently doesn't adhere to postal guidelines.
I have been told this isn't really done much in family wards, But I would love to hear some opinions as our ward finds it a quite useful setup.
