Order of Airports
Is there any reason that the Regional and North America airports are not in alphabetical order?

only that we are still adding some and don't want to "update threads" to get them in order until we've got a few more added. They will be listed by alpha when we complete this round of changes on Monday. We are aware that some may want the alpha by orginal city name not the three-letter airport code. we'll listen for feedback on that. Thanks for the note....

Just my 2 cents..... make it alpha by city witht the airport code to the side.
Such as.....Atlanta-Atl

While I can navigate by code I would bet many could not...(not bragging, just reality).
It is a good suggestion to go city name - code.

Definitely by city, not code.
People who know the code will always also know the city. People who know the city might not know the code.
Also, when you set it up by city, I'd suggest adding cross-references to the cities in the Featured Regional Airport list. People who want one of them might not think to check that list before they head for the geographic section.

Not that FT airport is that busy but, time allowing, sorting those domestic airports would help, especially for non-American flyers unfamiliar with the smaller markets.

Was wondering why the airports were not in alpha order so I searched and found this thread. Any chance the current list could be alphabetized?
