Smile makeup of the Address Block

New member differentdrummer here posting for the first time.
Thank you in advance for your help

I have been using the address block feature but can't get it to format the address quite the way I want. I am in Australia and I would like to format the address block to show the person's name first, then the company and then the address.

I couldn't get it to work for Australian addresses but when I added a made-up US address and selected the "format address according to destination country/region " the US address formatted as name first , followed by company and address

I there a way around this ? (also can you add extra fields to address block eg job title ) . I know I can solve this by adding fields one at a time but a sinlge entry is just so convenient

If you want to control the formatting, you need to forego the AddressBlock and insert the individual mergefields where you want them. This also gives you greater control over what happens if a given field in your datasource is empty or, in the case of US zip codes, some use 5-digit and others use 5+4-digit codes.
