Tom
For now this is working sort of for me:

VALU021 Lunenburg County, VA Will Book 8, 1818-

By putting the state code first, all my Virginia rolls sort together, then
by county, then roll number. If the abbreviation were longer, then I'd know
this covered wills from 1818-1826.
Since I ordered 4 films today, I am trying to set up as many tasks for those
four rolls as my ancestors might have been on, so luckily I am using the
same roll over and over again for a while this afternoon.

Hi Teresa,

I completely agree with you. I like being a little descriptive in the
abbreviation field so that I know what I'm looking at/for. It seems like I'm
always going back and modifying something because I had already started a
given way of doing a particular set of repositories, had forgotten about it,
and didn't catch it until later on. I don't know the answer to this
annoyance, but maybe someone out there does :-)

Tom
