Sort contacts by first name.
 

Ok so I made a post on this asking awhile back, and I tracked down what done it to my phone. So I packaged it into a .cab and here yall go. Its a neat feature to have imho, kind of like the delete all .cab....something that should have been there from the beginning. :D Anyways enjoy.

another method is just adding a comma at the end of the name e.g.

John Smith,

That will force First/Last name without screwing up any formatting as well.

Edit: Just saw the other post referencing the comma trick, nevermind.

Nice! Thanks for posting it Mike. :)

that's a cool little hack, thanks man!

Great App... THANKS!!!

hell yea rgeat app thx-kool

cool! thanks

is there anyway to program some sort of setting to automatically display all contacts as first last?

the last name is set to display first (i guess this is what u mean by first last :? ) by default so I don't understand ur ? :D

Hate bring back a post from the dead, but this was sooo what I needed....

I saw this ages ago, and had to search and dig for it.

Main thing is, THANKS for everything you do...My Treo would not be the same if it where not for this place!!!!!!

no problem and ur right it needed to be bumped. :D

somebody pay this man... sending u 140ppc cash so u can get to 10000 BUX!

the comma trick? that's cool

the .cab is even cooler, yes I'm new just got my 700wx friday past


thanx..........

I've 1 ?

I installed to main memory, open contacts, clicked first last, the soft reset. All contacts are still in last first order, but when I actually open a contact, it is sorted first last.

How come they are not sorting first last unless I open a contact?


EDIT: If I sort each one individually by first last, when I open contacts, they are sorted that way; seems a bit redundant to have to do them 1 @ a time.

And yet another way is to just add the person's name to the "Company" field in your contact list. :wink:

where is the link to this cab file???

Uhmm attached to the first post... you need to be signed in to see it. It's in a ZIP file...

Bringing this one back from the dead...again. I've been searching for a couple days now, and still can't figure out a way to make poutlook default to sorting contacts as first,last. There are a million ways to change the sorting after the fact, through 3rd party proggies and changing the 'file as' field 1 by 1, but what I want is for my address book to assume 'first, last' sorting for every new contact I make. Whenever I add a new contact or change the name of an old one, the 'file as' field gets set to 'last, first'.

With all the demand for programs that change this after the fact, isn't there someone who's discovered a reg hack to make this a default action?

Thanks.

ahah, I found it! This is coming in handy today with me using your old HTC Touch, which you only used a little while and is still in brand new condition ;) I love it!
