Does our materia and repertories should be indexed by Age and Sex?

Hi Members,
I would like to know about your suggestions as professional homeopaths regarding my point of view that our homeopathic materia medica and repertories data be re-indexed by rubrics according to Age and Sex to save the time of Homeopaths and Clients and to maximize the clinical approach for the relvant patient instead of reading all data which can be irrelevant to present client who can be a male infant but their is possibility of reading data of females while searching digital repertories or materia?

What do you say ?
I do not agree with the present indexation of materia and repertories?

But most of the rubrics prove to be useful for *any* age and either
sex, and often for animals too (tho needing some tempering for that).

And there are some rubrics specifically referencing infants, children
and old people. But the needed remedy for e.g. a child might be under
the rubric "... in children", in other cases it was not there, but was
in the broader rubric.

Can you offer an example of a rubric that you feel would apply to only
one sex or the other, or only to a certain age group?

NO WAY!

Age and sex are nothing to do with repping other than potentially
being rubrics to include:-)

Just my strong biased view:-)

Namaste,
Irene
