Commonly but not exclusively, in Australia, we use numeric coding. The first three digits for the feature and two more digits for the string number. Similar features such as a side entry pit (308), grated pit (309) junction pit (310) all come together is a list making it easy to at least start your search for the code you're after. In an alphabetical list these would be all over the place. BTW, I spent a minute looking for pits in the list above but gave up!!

Cheers

Doug

Sokkia's first data collectors use numbers i still have a list somewhere. The thing is to keep them small as you can. I guess it's what works for you.
