For this category, would anyone take issue if we listed them alphabetically as opposed to by floor count? I think this way the listing would be easier to navigate since most identify a building by name first and not by floor count. --[[User:Patriarca12|Patriarca12]] 11:30, 13 October 2006 (PDT) | For this category, would anyone take issue if we listed them alphabetically as opposed to by floor count?

For this category, would anyone take issue if we listed them alphabetically as opposed to by floor count? I think this way the listing would be easier to navigate since most identify a building by name first and not by floor count. --Patriarca12 11:30, 13 October 2006 (PDT)
