Groups - sort by display name

Hi All,
I've a question: do you know how to make Lync client to sort my groups by name (alphabetically - A->Z)?
 I have more than 20 groups and I've noticed that after few weeks some groups changed the initial location on the list. And now I have the mess on the list.
many thanks for any suggestions,
-Dan

This doesn't work in Lync 2013. I don't have HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\<SIP URI>\GroupStateCacheU
key itself (forget about SortGroups) and the contact groups are sorted randomly. 
In communicator 2007 R2, I remember fixing this by removing some XML file but can't remember.

  • How to alter the display names of grouped items in a document library?

    Very odd issue I want to sort items in a document library by the value in a field, that is no problem. The issue is I want them display NOT in alphabetical order for example I have a list that is grouped into 3 groups (Cases, Forms and Support). When you
    look at the page they are grouped in alphabetical order from top to bottom, I want them to show up as (Cases, Support and Forms). I tried creating column with with a value 1,2 or 3 with the "3" value attached to "Forms" items and the "2"
    to the "Support" item them sort per Grouped value and that works BUT the grouped names appears as "1" "2" or "3". I need them to show as (Cases, Support Forms). 
    I was wondering if there is syntax to alter the display name while editing within Designer similar to the syntax used to change the display name of a long hyperlink when quoting it in an email or forum submission?? 
    I want:
    <FieldRef Name= "Grouping"/> to diplay the three groups by names other than the values in that column, the display names.

  • Sort by last name in groups

    Experia Z3: Although on top level (ALL contacts) can be sorted by last name, it seems not to be possible to have the same sorting within groups, e.g. Family or Friends. Forgotten to program?

    I checked here and it's like you say, in groups the contacts are displayed with first name first. I will forward it as feedback internally.

  • How to change the Group Display Name in the UME?

    Hello experts,
    from time to time due to reorganisation our departments group names change.
    So far this was a big deal because it is not possible to change the Display Name of a group created in the Portal´s UME?
    So far a new group with the department name has to be created and all group members have to be connected to the new group again. This is not a convenient way..
    Is there a way to configure the UME to allow to modify the Display Names of Groups?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for the quick answer.
    However my problem is still not solved.
    I am using the portal groups also as permission objects for KM. That´s why I do not want to create a new group because the new one will not appear in the ACLs of the KM Objects.
    For me it is important to modify the Display Name of an existing Group. The GroupID shall not change. The new Display Name should be updated then automatically in the ACLs of KM Objects in question.
    By exporting the group data:
    [group]
    gid=TeamA
    gdesc=All members of Team A
    user=member1, member2
    There is no parameter for changing the Display Name of the group. There is only the Description Parameter.
    So far I didn´t find any solution.
    Any other ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

  • MOSS 2007 - Sort People Picker by Display Name, Not Login

    I've been looking for a way to sort the people picker based on the user's Display Name. I've found some great articles on setting the People Picker scope (thanks, by the way), but nothing about the sorting. Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA
    John.

    Hi Ridz,
    Thanks for posting your query, Kindly find out the code snippet that you can use for your issue
    PeopleQueryControl using SPUtility.SortPrincipalInfo() method:
    private static IList SortPrincipalInfo(IEnumerable principals)
    SortedList list = new SortedList();
    foreach (SPPrincipalInfo info in principals)
    string str = info.LoginName.ToLowerInvariant();
    string key = string.Concat(new object[] { info.DisplayName, " ", str, info.IsSharePointGroup });
    if (!list.ContainsKey(key))
    list.Add(key, info);
    return list.Values;
    PeoplePicker sorts results by display name.
    I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.

  • Contacts Display and Sort by Company Name

    I have over 1000 contacts in Outlook which synced wonderfully with my new iPhone.
    Alas, I need to lookup and sort by Company Name. This is a VERY standard method for contacts. The options presented by iphone are first and last name, sigh and tech support had no suggestions and the helpful tech support genttleman could find no 3rd party applications which could help.
    Help!
    I relly like my iPhone, but I need to be able to look up contacts and notes by company.
    Thanks

    I have noticed something useful when entering contacts directly into my iPhone. When entering a contact that I want shown in the list by the company name, I enter the company name first (without entering the "first name" and "last name") and save it. If you do it that way, the little square where the photo would be will change from the blank head to some buildings, and the contact will be listed by the company name. You can then go back and edit to add a first and last name and it will stay listed by company name.
    However, if you enter the last name, first name, and company name all at the same time it will list the entry by the "last name" instead of by the company.
    For example, if I want my son's doctor's office to display as "Arizona Pediatrics" instead of "Dr. John Smith" in the contact list, I would enter the Arizona Pediatrics first, save, and then go back in and add the Dr. John Smith in the last name, first name fields.
    I need to check the manual to see if this is detailed, as I stumbled on it accidentaly, but it's pretty useful.

  • Phonebook not displaying names in groups.

    Hi
    I just got a new macbook pro and when I connected my iphone to it, it erased all my contacts. So I manually put them in but now instead of displaying them by letter, eg-A-NAMES,B-NAMES,C-NAME,D-NAMES. It just shows one single list of people.
    Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks
    Aditya

    It depends on if your iphone is not displaying your contacts alphabetically or is address book not displaying names alphabetically.
    If it is the iphone, go to home screen > settings > phone and check the contacts section to see how the names are supposed to be sorted and displayed.
    If you have the settings correct, try power-cycling or resetting the iphone.
    Both shut the power down so you can turn back on. This link will help.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305740
    If the reset does not resolve the issue, you might think about restoring the iphone. This link will help.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
    If it is the address book that is having the issue, check the address book preferences to see how the names are supposed to be sorted and displayed.
    If these are set correctly, you can rename your address book preference file.
    To rename the file:
    Make sure you quit out of address book.
    Open finder and drag the following file to the desktop.
    ~\library\preferences\apple.com.AddressBook.plist
    This will reset any preferences you have set in address book.
    Hope this helps out.

  • Group display name

    Hello.
    I am trying to retrieve the Group Display Name. I know how to use wwsec_api.group_info to retrieve the id, name, description, and a handful of other info. However, I can't seem to find anything to retrieve the Display Name. Does anyone know which api package function to use? Which tables to hit?
    It has to be doable, because when you do a browse group, it shows all the groups with their name, display name, and description listed side-by-side.
    Regards.

    Hello.
    I need a progammatic way of retrieving the Display Name field. I'll look into that dbms package.
    But, could someone elaborate on that DAS - Configuration method?
    Regards.

  • Sum of a sum when using Top N in the Group Sort Expert

    Hi All,
    I have a small problem I can't quite seem to work out.
    I have a report where each line is for a particular Product, and is a summation of the Sales for that Product over several Locations. When you click on the line, it shows the breakdown of Sales over each Location.
    I use the Group Sort Expert to display the Top N results, where the 'N" is set in a formula to a parameter passed in to the report, so the user can select the top 5,10,50 etc. Products across all Locations.
    At the bottom of the report, I want to have a sum of a column of Sales $. I need that sum to only be a sum of the Top N records selected.
    Since each line is a summation of the all the products for the Locations, what I need is a sum of that sum for the Top N, but Crystal will not let you add the sum of a sum, so I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
    If I just do a sum of the underlying values I get a total for all the Products, regardless of the Top N.
    Hope that makes some sense !
    Many Thanks
    Paul

    Hi Sastry,
    I tried your suggestion, thanks, but I don't think it's the answer. For a start Crystal will not let me do that, it pops up a message box when I try to run the report "A running total cannot refer to a print time formula. Details: Record Number". I also added the record number field next to the lines in the report to see what the result would be, and I don't think it would work anyway.
    Here is an example using Units sold:
    Product Name--LocationUnits Sold--Record Number
    Product A -<All Stores>----8
    Store A--1--
    1
    Store B--3--
    2
    Store C--4--
    3
    Product B--<All Stores>--3      
    Store A--2--
    4
    Store B--1--
    5
    Product C--<All Stores>--
    1
    Store A--1--
    6
    Note that only the bold lines are shown in the report,. If you click on the bold line, then the breakdown of the stores is shown. For the above example, I am showing the Top 2 units across all stores (so Product C is not shown at all), but there are actually 5 records, so if I used a formula where RecordNumber <=N, where in this case N=2, I would get a total units sold of 1 + 3 (records 1 and 2) which is incorrect.
    I will have more of a think on this and see if I can find a solution, in the mean time, any other suggestions ? Is there some wya of checking if the line is visible maybe ?
    Thanks for your time !

  • Mail: Display Name in "To:" Field

    Hi,
    In the mail app To: field a display name is associated with an email address. For a particular email address I want to remove this association.
    (apols this is difficult to explain).
    I am a member of an email group called TriLondon (at) yahoogroups (dot) co (dot) uk. A while back I wanted to be able to send automated reminders to this group via iCal. As I remember at the time I added this email as part of my profile in address book. When I recieve a message from this group the from field displays "Steven Lord" (ie my name) and when I send to it the to field displays "Steven Lord".
    This is now very confusing and I no longer want this associated. I have removed that email address from my profile in address book but still if I recieve an email or send an email to TriLondon (at) yahoogroups (dot) co (dot) uk it shows as Steven Lord in the to / from field.
    HELP !! I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    I don't have to log in to send to this group.
    Before any of this happened I could send an email to that group from Mail app on my mac. In order to be able to automatically send reminders to that group via iCal (I no longer need to be able to do this) I added an address to my profile in Address App. So I added the email address under my card in Address App.
    That resulted in any mail being received from the above group being labelled as coming from me.. ie Steven Lord. It's annoying and I've finally decided to try and sort it out.
    So...
    In Address App I've removed the email address trilondon 'at' etc... from my card in there. However, within Mail app any email coming from that email address is still labelled as Steven Lord.

  • Project Server 2010 - Updated User Profile - Display Name is Old Name

    Similar to question"It shows the Domain\Logon account instead the User Name (up right corner)" but not quite the same. I also checked on the related topics list and could not find a solution.
    We have a Resource in Project Server 2010 whose name changed. This included a change to her loginID as well as her email address. I went in to PWA > Server Settings > Security > Manage Users and changed the
    Name, Email Address, and User Login Account fields accordingly. When the user goes into Project Server or any of the Project Sites, her old User Name is reflected. If she accesses any other SharePoint site (not associated with Project Server) her
    new name shows up in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
    We do not have AD Synchronization turned on.
    How can we edit the name that appears in the upper right corner of the screen?

    Hi,
    Use Display name shown on right hand site is not from PWA, its from SharePoint User profile. When we make change to user display name, sometime SharePoint Still retain the old account and also add new account. To fix the issue we have to remove the user
    profile from PWA root site.
    Open PWA and navigate to following path
    Site Actions>>Site Settings>>People and Groups
    Click on More from left hand site list of groups
    Select appropriate group,   belongs to the user
    Select the user and from Actions tab remove the user. (you may see two entries old and new), Either you can delete both or click on each account to validate correct user ID.
    Once again navigate to PWA>>Server Settings>>Manage User
    Edit affected user and click on Save
    Have user log on to PWA and validate the result.

  • How do I change the number in a Top N Group Sort

    I have a report that I have grouped on a particular field (Cust.Name specifically). I then used the group sort expert and selected the Top N selection in the combo box under the Cust.Name tab. I put in a default number of 20. What I want to do is to set this number for the Top N group sort via .NET. Does anyone know the correct method for doing this in either VB.NET or C#.NET. I am using VS 2005 Pro and the embedded Crystal Reports engine for VS.NET. Thank you.
    Ed Cohen

    Hello, Edgar;
    In the bundled version of Crystal Reports 10.2 in Visual Studio .NET 2005 you will need to use the following code:
    Private Sub Set_TopN()
            Dim TopNSortField As TopBottomNSortField
            'Get the Sort field by index
            'Cast it as a TopBottomNSortField
            If TypeOf crReportDocument.DataDefinition.SortFields.Item(0) Is TopBottomNSortField Then
                TopNSortField = crReportDocument.DataDefinition.SortFields.Item(0)
                TopNSortField.NumberOfTopOrBottomNGroups = 10
            Else
                TopNSortField = Nothing
            End If
        End Sub
    In a full version of Crystal Reports there is an option to create a parameter as a number such as {?TopN} and then pass the value to it at runtime.
    In the Crystal Reports designer you need to create the parameter and then go to Report|Group Sort Expert.
    Choose TopN based on your field.
    Where N is... You will need a number there. I used 1. But then I clicked on the Formula editor [X+2] and added the parameter field {?TopN}.
    Passing the parameter at runtime ran the number I requested.

  • PSE6 - sort by file name

    How to sort by file name in the Organize view of PSE6.
    I tried Display->Folder Location. But there are still two pictures (#15 and #18 out of 130) which are shown at the end of the view.
    More sort options in the thumbnail view would be helpful.
    Thanks

    Not sure I understand what zou mean here Hagen. Do you because the

  • How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

    I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
    All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
    My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
    I have tagged them in  Elements 11  as  appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
    In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
    I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
    I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
    I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
    Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?
    Tony

    Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
    In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
    Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
    I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
    Have I got this right?.
    I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
    As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
    Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!
