Can't sort custom labels in Contacts

It used to be that when you added a Custom Lable in Contacts in iOS, it would show a sorted list of the custom labels you already made for your contacts phone numbers etc. so you could see if you've already made a custom label to avoid duplication.  Now in iOS7, you can add a custom label but you have to scroll down the long list of already entered custom labels that seem to appear in no particular order.  It takes a long time if you already have quite a number of custom labels.  It used to be easy when they were sorted to scroll down to the labels in alphabetical order.  What happened to this feature?

Custom Labels are not Alphabetical.
Same problem with my os7 update, and This is a huge hassle, I re-use labels constantly as I travel for work and
I have hundreds of labels in my contacts.
This is a mess.
The only Good thing I can say is that the 'new' custom label field is finally at the Top of the list of labels.
It used to be at the bottom, meaning I had to scroll thru many many labels to add a new custom label.
So they fixed the tiny little problem and gave us a Massive new problem.
Appple, Please Fix This ASAP.

  • Spotlight can't find custom label

    spotlight can't find custom labels and also custom labels, could someone know solution? IOS8.1, iphone 6

    And just to be on the safe side, this thread did not solve my problem. Briefly, it's not about Spotlight getting mixed up because of external HDs.

  • Can you delete custom labels created in the contact list?

    The subject pretty much sums up my question! Can you do this on the iPhone?

    Not sure what you mean by "Custom Labels in the contact list"
    But to the best of my knowledge nothing that even has to do with the contact list is customizable other than entries you put in

  • Syncing custom labels within contacts

    On my iPhone, I have quite a few contacts with multiple cell phones, and I have created a lot of customer labels. I've also added notes, dates, etc. When I sync to Outlook, it only syncs the first customer label (as "other"), but none of the rest. And it doesn't sync my additional fields. At one time, I lost all my contacts on my phone, and when I resynced from Outlook, all of this info was missing.
    Is there a way to get this info to sync to Outlook? Otherwise, is there another application I can use to sync all of my contact info?
    Thanks.

  • What happened to custom labels in contacts???

    Prior to loading 4.0.2, I could differentiate between the phone numbers for a given contact by selecting Custom Label and creating a label by name. In this way, multiple mobile phone numbers for a single contact - perhaps a family - could be distinguished by the name the phone number belongs to. With 4.0.2, the ability to create a custom label doesn't appear to be available. Is this functionality gone, or am I doing something wrong.

    Mine is missing also, I went to the Apple store and no body could help me. all my friends still have the custom Label, but I don't.

  • Getting rid of custom labels in contacts

    I installed the TrueCaller app, but decided it wasn't for me, so I deleted it again. Now I have a lot of custom labels for phone numbers in the contacts app. I would like to get rid of them again.

    When in an individual contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. Then, tap on the custom label you want to change. Select the label you prefer.
    No, there's no way of doing them all at once.
    You may want to try doing it through whatever program you sync your contacts to. That might be faster.
    Best of luck.

  • Can't add Custom Image to Contact Card

    Just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Noticed that when making up a new contact card, I can't just drop an image (somebody's face) into the Custom Image box anymore. The box lights up -- highlighted in blue -- but it won't accept the image. Any ideas?

    Similarly, I'm on 10.6.2. Since Snow Leopard came out, I have been unable to add/edit any "Custom Images" in my Address Book entries. Everyone in my AB is stuck with the image they had in my Leopard Address Book. Looks like there's several threads on this, but no great (i.e. Apple-fixed0 solution I've seen so far.
    What does work for me now is:
    1. going to the Finder,
    2. select the Address Book application (make sure the app isn't running),
    3. Get Info
    4. Select the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox
    5. Open the Address Book app, and begin editing images

  • Printing custom labels from contacts

    How do you print labels with a different header than just the persons name? I would like to address holiday labels to read:
    "The Smith Family"
    123 Cherry St.
    Denver, CO 80210
    Rather than the contact name only:
    "Jane Smith"
    123 Cherry St.
    Denver, CO 80210
    Can I create a field that allows me to put it as the address header rather than having to use the contacts first and last name only?

    Hi gordonprop,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to change the name field on a label. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    you can modify the First name field of the card

  • Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

    I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Yugendra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
    Contacts at a glance - iPhone
    Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • IPhone iOS 7 "Add Custom Labels" order changed...No Longer Alphabetized!

    Help!  I updated my iPhone4 to ios 7 with the recent update.  I love everything about it, but when trying to find a custom label in "Contacts > John Doe > Edit > Mobile" and then scrolling down under the "Add Custom Label" menu, I found out that all of my custom labels which had previously been in alphabetized order were ordered according to what I can only guess was their date of creation.  With a massive list of clients and contacts from various walks of life and organizations, I created a reusable Custom Lable system since I came across that need in my line of work.  After ios 7, that suddenly got rearranged.  It never occurred in any other software or hardware update and I've been with iPhone since first gen.  How can take my Custom Labels and return to the alphabetized order with which they were previously arranged without losing ios 7?  Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi Konsultix!
    Yeah, the customizable phone labels have been a real blessing up until recently.  If they ever figure this out, you should give it a try.  As for the lack of responsiveness which robodr mentioned, I'm not surprised.  We've pretty much been an all-Apple campus at my work with computers, portable devices, & even iPhones due to Apple's history with the philosophy of user-friendly simplicity.  Unfortunately, that philosophy seems to be changing towards lazy unforeseen complexity. The Mavericks switch (though free), the iWork updates, the rough iMovie launch, glitches with copier drivers resetting, the ios7 glitches, even this inexcusable lag in customer service here, all of it has my board and me rethinking our company-wide devotion to Apple including our iPhones.  If we're constantly troubleshooting, then Apple's nullified their advantage in the business sector and we might as well go for the cheaper Windows product since we're still constantly wasting our time & $$ on IT.  IT savings was the whole reason we convinced the board to switch in the first place.  Without it, Apple might as well kiss our money goodbye.  When Steve Jobs was alive, every detail was so well-thought out and customer service was at the top of its game.  Now, it's been a month since I posted a problem on Apple's website and no reply.  I'm glad to have this poor experience because, honestly, the timing couldn't be better.  My organization's AT&T phone contracts are expiring and we might begin switching more than our provider on this campus.

  • Delete custom labels on iOS8.1

    Hello,
    How can i delete custom labels on iOS 8.1? i found this thread (Delete custom labels in iOS7?) but i couldn't delete them via third party apps like what'sapp and magic app. Maybe they don't support it anymore.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vassilis

    The same for me. iPhone 6+ with IOS 8.2.
    I can delete many labels until rest one. If i delete this one the contact app crash. I export all contacts to vcard end tray to find for my label name but nothing is found.

  • IOS 5 Custom Labels

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5 but now I cannot add custom labels to telephone numbers in my contacts app.  This is only the case for newly created contacts as I can still add custom labels for old contacts.
    Also, when adding new fields (i.e. Related people) to old contacts, the label list is much longer than when trying to create a new contact and adding the field.
    Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

    Hi Vinayd,
    I have not tried this since the iOS 5 update so I thought I would check my phone out. First I tested on an old contact and then created a new contact and I do not have that problem. I am still able to add customer fields for both old and NEW contacts. I did notice to get out of the screen you need to press cancel but it keeps the new label.
    Also I have the same list (ie Related People) for both new and old contacts. The default list and the list that I have created from other contacts. It sure sounds like the OS may be curupte, My thought is have you tried to reset and restore on your phone?
    This is stil a feature in iOS 5 and works the same on my phone as it did prior to the update, so you should have no problem getting it to work, if all was operating correctly.
    Like they say, Rebot, Reset, and Restore. Hope this helps.
