[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Format for Dates, Places, Tel, Names

[Clifford]

I agree with Earl Schultz that all DATES should be written in the format
Year Month Day  [yyyy  mm  dd].
That is, from General  to  Particular.

The same format can also be used for PLACES, that is:
Country  Province  County  Village.
This is the format used in many European countries.

Telephone numbers also follow this logic:
AreaNumber  RegionNumber  LocalNumber.

The same format can also be used for person NAMES:
Surname  GivenName1  Given Name2.
This format is used by some cultural groups.

My above suggestions (General to Particular) are contrary to the procedures
used by most genealogy programs such as Legacy, PAF, etc.
But I think that you can see my logic.  The same concept is used in computer 
programming.

Hopefully, all genealogy programs (and even business practices), and 
especially sggee, will change to a more logical system.

Documentation and interpretation will be much easier if there is a STANDARD 
logical format, and sggee can lead the way.
