If the user interface requires keywords from the user, then
it can and should of course accept the different fields of
the O/R-name in arbritary order.

If however, the user interface displays a form on the user
screen, with different fields, which the user can fill in,
then these fields on the screen should preferably be in the
same order as the fields on the business card.

What you say about the directory names is important. Of
course, ISO/CCITT should make a standard for writing
OR-adresses on business cards which is compatbile with the
format for writing directory names on the same card. I hope
the people who make the standard will take this into consideration.
