Address Book - email address sorting

My own entry in my address book has 11 email addresses (I added most of them after they were automatically added to separate entries). The one that appears on the top is the one I want to appear on the bottom. How do I tell Address Book to keep them in a particular order?

I've never used the TrueSwitch software, but I've never had to. You can export your contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. into a .csv file and import them directly to your verizon.net account. If you log into your verizon.net account and go to your contacts list there's an Import Contacts button.
If you need any assistance with that process let me know, I can try to provide a step-by-step for your client.
As for sorting by name, this functionality does not appear to be available in the "Basic Interface" of Verizon's webmail. Switching to the "Rich Interface" causes the name to be displayed in a Last, First format and sorting by name is an option.
Hope this helps!

  • The "Details All" view in the SNP planning book is not sorted

    The "Details All" view in the SNP planning book should be sorted by Product Description in ascending order. 
    When all products in the selection ID are loaded into the SNP planning book, and then "Details All" is selected from the Header area, the product description list is not sorted in ascending order.
    However when I load small number of products the issue does not occur they get sorted correctly by product description.
    Is this hapenning due to standard functionality/Standard macro in Planning book?
    Please let me know if anybody has faced this kind of issue earlier.

    Hi Rohit,
    If you are using Detail All drill down then you wonu2019t get any option for sort as it will load all codes from the selection  in the planning book and sorting will be based on product IDs.
    but if you drill down from header on detail all -filter, even if you sort the display list there using ascending/descending button for Description, the list that you will get in the planning book after load will be based on the Product IDs agian.
    I hope this is controlled from the selection we do in planning book where we select Location/Product, but if your planning is better driven by the description then you can remove the Product ID selection from header setting and have only description in drill down.

  • Trying to create a book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time. how can i set the sorting

    trying to create an Aperture book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time to place a photo. how can i set the sorting to stay in my manual setup?

    1.  If you manually sort Images in a Project, and then create a new Book w. "Include selected Images" checked, your manual sort order will be preserved.
    2.  As a workaround for when you have already created a Book, batch rename your Images with a leading index or counter after setting the order manually.  You'll have to create a Naming Preset, e.g.: "{Index}_{Version Name}".  The renaming should go in the order that you selected the Images, so be sure to select the first one first, and then use "Edit→Select all" to extend the selection to all Images.  Once the Images are in your Book, a sort on Version Name should be the same as the manual sort you created.
    3.  At the risk of stating the obvious, you could create the Book, import the Images, and then sort them.  The Book -- it is, to Aperture, just a special kind of Album -- retains its own manual sort order.  I recommend using Albums this way.  Use Projects to cull and develop Images, and use Albums for output.  Sorting for a Book (or any output) is better done in the container devoted to that output (and not in the Project, which is more general).

  • Address book does not sort correctly

    I have not been able to get the address book to sort correctly. If I go Preferences/General/Sort by Last Name, it only sorts about half. I discovered that the ones that don't get sorted are ones that have had the "Swap first/last name" function applied to them. This appears to be only cosmetic. How do you make the first/last switch permanent?
    I thought that exporting them out and then importing would get around that but when exporting from Address Book it also ignores any first/last switches you may have done.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks. -Derryl

    Bneely, thanks for the reply. It still doesn't solve the problem though. If what you are saying is the case then the switch should be an option in Mail, not the address book.
    Example: Our office in Switzerland sends us their addresses via Vcard. Most of Europe (like Japan) displays their cards reversed from ours. I get hundreds of addresses that don't sort correctly unless I manually retype them in their address cards. That is a waste of time (and certainly a waste of a G5). In addition to the temporary switch there needs to be a "Permanent Switch" button. Or at least a more intelligent sort function. Thanks. -dr

  • Address book won't sort

    Cards in my local Mac address book 5.0.3 won't sort - They're alphabetized but in 2 separate groupings. Can't get them combined, by first or last name. Solutions?

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

  • Remove duplicate Address Book emails

    I'm trying to write a script that walks through the currently selected Address Book entries, checks for duplicate email addresses, and removes any duplicates that it finds. Here's what I came up with:
    <pre>tell application "Address Book"
    set the_selection to selection
    repeat with this_person in the_selection
    set unique_emails to {}
    set duplicate_emails to {}
    repeat with this_email in every email of this_person
    if the value of this_email is in unique_emails then
    copy the contents of this_email to the end of duplicate_emails
    else
    copy the value of this_email to the end of unique_emails
    end if
    end repeat
    repeat with this_email in duplicate_emails
    remove this_email from this_person's emails
    end repeat
    end repeat
    end tell</pre>
    It seems like this should work, but when I try to run it, I get:
    <pre>Address Book got an error: NSReceiversCantHandleCommandScriptError</pre>
    I believe the first repeat clause is correct; the error comes in the call to remove. I just can't figure out how to remove the emails listed in duplicate_emails from Address Book. Any suggestions? TIA
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Yes, that's because of the emails is reduced by one -every time- after the script encounters the second address. On the third encounter the index for this email address is 3, but the actual index of it is 2 -because the second one got deleted, is that make sense?
    Yes, I'm just surprised that this is necessary. In some other programming languages (such as Java's collections API), keeping track of indices is not necessary because you can delete an element on the fly and the iterator object will adjust itself accordingly.
    Anyway, even though the second repeat loop is not strictly necessary, I'd rather do that than have to deal with index-based loops. The second loop approach is easier to read and understand, I think.
    I've posted the final version of the script here: http://vocaro.com/trevor/software/applescript/
    Thank you for your help; I appreciate it!

  • Address book - mailing list - sorting order of names

    Generally difficult to edit mailing lists - alter order of names in the list - add email/names in middle of list - drop names from list - copy parts of list to another list - how can you edit a mailing list?

    1 at a time? I don't think so.
    Here is a bonus lesson in selecting multiple items.
    select item 1. Press control+a to select all
    select item1. move up or down several items and hold the shift key while clicking item 2. This selects items 1 and 2 and all items in between.
    hold the control key while clicking random items. This selects any item that is clicked on.
    hold the control key while clicking a selected item. This will deselect that item.
    You cannot drag and drop from a list though. This will only work in the address book itself.
    A contact must exist in the address book that the list is created in to be added to that list.
    You can move or copy contact between address books using drag and drop.
    Drag and drop to move. Hold the control key before dropping to copy. You will see a + sign appear to indicate a copy.
    There operations are universal and not a Thunderbird thing. It has been a part of computer shortcuts since the early 90's.

  • Transfer Outlook Express Address Book & emails from old iMac 333 to iMac G5

    Trying to import my old address book and a collection of emails from Outlook Express 5.0.6 to Mail2.0.2. I've tried everything that Outlook requires and no luck yet. I am reluctant to reload all those names, addresses, etc. into my new iMac G5. Also, I have many emails from my old iMac 333 and need them for my new G5 mail files. Can I read them into Mail 2.0.2 ?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I was having no success at all when I was trying to import mail data from Outlook Express to Mail on the same office G4 Tower where I just upgraded to Tiger, where all the Apple docu says it is possible...
    Then I realised,
    1. When in X, when importing data from OE, Classic has to be booted, my only and originally OS 9 (installed X on another partition) is to "heavily loaded" with a lot of 3rd party extensions etc, it never loaded completely
    Solution: Install another clean and lean copy of OS 9 somewhere else, then designate this as your Classic, and make sure you only have one copy of OE and one set of your Identities etc in the Document folder
    2. The easier way out is if you have Office X or Office 2004, use Entourage to import everything from OE, then use Mail to import from Entourage.
    Cheers

  • Address book email addresses don't get removed

    When I write a new email, old, deleted email addresses for people still appear as addressee options. Why are they still listed when they have been deleted from the Address Book?

    They are still listed in previous recipients if you have ever sent an email to that address.
    Mail > Menubar > Window > Previous recipients.
    Remove them from there.

  • Address book email address incorrect in mail.app

    so, in address book i click on the email address of the contact and select "send email" it opens Mail, and auto-completes to the wrong email address.  i've cleared the previous recipients and have also restarted my machine and deleted the contact and started over.  also, when i enter the email address manually, it does not show up as an address book contact (as in, it doesn't create a blue "box" around the name)...  this is the only contact affected by this. 
    anyone else experiencing this?  any help?  thanks!

    You’re vaguely talking about timestamps here, without specifying whether they are “sent” or “received”.
    The Date header is set by the sender’s mail client and corresponds to the Date Sent column, not to the Date Received column.
    The date that Mail shows in the Date Received column is the date that appears in the latest (topmost) Received header (which you can see doing View > Message > Long Headers), and is set by your incoming mail server.
    Obviously, the timestamp set by the sender’s mail client doesn’t have to be the same as the timestamp set by your incoming mail server when it received the message, amongst other reasons because both the sender’s computer and your incoming mail server may be configured incorrectly...

  • Why Address Book email addresses without first&last name stacked up under random names when moved to Lion?

    Often in Snow Leopard I would add an email address to my address book wihtout filling in the name fields. For example, Iif I got an email from [email protected], I would "add to address book but never fill out the card completely with the first and last names. The card showed with just an email address. Just left it as the email address. I never had any problems doing this and it always showed up as a single email address on a single card. Oh woe is me! When I moved to Lion I now have multiple unrelated email addresses under some of these "email only" cards. These seem to be the folks who were cards as an email address w/o first and last name fields. Not only that, I have multiples of the "email only cards" and each one has a different set of mutliple "email only" addresses under it. But, at least one of the "email only cards" just has the desired email w no other info. Can I fix this other than manually?
    I now have a disaster of an Address book.

    ok, I've spent some time doing various scenarios.
    I have managed to replicate one scenario which does as you say.
    If my contact in the address book:
    With name details as Peter Foo
    email address: [email protected]
    where there is an inserted space before the name peter, of course this is not instantly noticeable, but it is as if you hit the space bar just before typing the email address.
    Then when I use the Contacts Sidebar in a Write message, it will add the email address like this:
    Peter Foo <" peter"@somewhere.com>
    which of course in invalid.
    but in the address book, if highlight the contact, in the section below the email address in blue -if I click this to send an email the email address is printed exacly with the space and it will send as if nothing is wrong.
    So i'm asking you to check those email addresses which insert incorrectly via the Contacts sidebar. They only do this for me if there is a hidden inserted space at the start of the email address.

  • Any way to recover Entourage 2004 address book, emails?

    I just updated my OS to Mountain Lion only to find out it won't support my old Microsoft Office 2004 applications. Terrific. Is there a way to recover my Entourage address book and inbox from the local hard drive? My last Time Machine backup was a qhile ago (I know, I know).
    Thanks.

    The easiest way would be to get MS Office 2011.
    Outlook can import those Entourage files.
    Come at a price though.

  • Address Book - email address option in new cards

    I see categories for address, work phne, etc. But i do not see any option for a email address.
    I have created it in the custom option and replaced a currect choice but I cannot believe it does not come with a email address section to just fill in the new cards

    Work is the label for the type of email address, Work as opposed to Home. You can put whatever label you want; if you need it to say email instead of work or home, then go for it.
    If you customize the Template in preferences, you may be able to get it to show up on a new card. As long as you place the email address in an email address field, it will recognize it as an email address. If you put it in the notes section, for instance, it won't be recognized as an email address.

  • Mail Addresses and Address book Email Addresses

    hi all,
    i wasnt sure how to search this problem, so i thought just make a new post. do apolisge if this has already been answered somewhere.
    i wanted to know are the addresses in mail directly linked to addresses from Address book. because the two applications seem to be doing a few wierd things.
    1) when i type a name, it begins to come up. but then it comes up with a surname. and when i look in address book its there also. so i delete it but still find that the surname is still there.
    2) in mail - the surname gets filled in somehow. dont know where it gets the information.
    is there any way to reset the addresses that are saved in mail. and make sure it only gets the names in address book.
    note: i also sync the address book with my Nokia N70.
    any suggestions or help will be appericated.
    Thanks,

    Mail has a list of previous recipients that it supplements the Address Book information with. If something is showing up that isn't in the Address Book, go to Window -> Previous Recipients in Mail and you should find it in there. Remove anything you don't want to be there.
