6 years ago Oh hai Michael! To take it to next-level goodness, could the taxa within each family please be listed alphabetically, so within the legume family Fabaceae, could all the Acacia spp. be grouped together (Acacia ad.... , Acacia aem...., Acacia ba... etc.), followed by the next genus (e.g. Aotus cr...), and the next (e.g. Chorizema cor...). This would make comparing between species in an area much easier (for their identification), and the field guide a lot more useful. See: https://fieldguide.ala.org.au/download/offline/07112017-fieldguide1510027020487.pdf

Currently entries within a fieldguide are sorted alphabetically. If the guide only contains lower level taxa then this okay, but any guide that has multiple different lifeforms is almost unusable as different taxa groups are spread out over the entire document (eg: fish, crabs, birds and plants can be mixed 'randomly' throughout the document). It would make the fieldguide much more useful to break the contents into Lifeform (perhaps even sub-lifeforms) 'chapters' first, then sort alphabetically.
