Order of address, city, country in form

Is there any specific usability reason why the standard order of form elements for entering an address is this order:

1. address
2. address 2
3. city
4. country

Wouldn't it make more sense to go the reverse way? Thereby going from broad to narrow, instead of narrow to broad? From a technical perspective, this would make auto completion better (search results will narrow down). Additionally, from a human perspective, this seems more logical. That is:

1. country
2. city
3. address
4. address 2

Do you think I could do this without confusing users, given that this diverts from the standards?
