Contacts do not sort correctly

Whenever I add a new contact to my iPhone 4 S, the name goes to the top of my contact list and not where it should be in its alphabetical category, thus sorting of the contact list is not in alphabetical order. I did program it to list contacts by first and last name, I also reset the phone several times but to no avail. I even went to an apple store and no one knew how to solve the problem or why it was happening. Can anyone provide me some assistance in solving this problem ?
Thank you in advance.

No none, the contacts just do not sort in alphabetical order they should be in. For example I added a name that started with an S but it would not go under the S category of names but rather it would create a new S group at the top of the contact list before the contacts starting in A. The OLD list of names starting with S is still existing and in the right alphabetical order but the new contact would not save under that group but rather as I said in a new group starting with S at the top of the contact list.

Outlook Contacts do not sort correctly under iCloud

I have recently started mucking around with iCloud (after the unfortunate discontinuation of MobileMe...).
I use MS Outlook 2007 on my PC (Windows 7 64-bit) for my Contacts, Calendar & Tasks. Untill recently, I was syncing my Outlook Contacts & Calendar with my iPhone (latest iOS) via iTunes. All was working fine.
A couple of days ago, I installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC and gave it a go to see what will happen to my Outlook setup. I enabled just the Contacts in order not to stray out too far...
Once done, iCloud took all the contacts from my personal folder in Outlook and moved them to a new iCloud folder. So now, I have two different Contact folder, the iCloud dedicated one (which is fully populated) and the other one is the one previously used (which is stored in my local .pst file and now empty).
All syncing to the iCloud seems to be working OK - I checked my contacts from the www.icloud.com and they are all there.
The problem I have is withing the new iCloud Contact folder that was created in my Outlook installation. It does not sort my Contacts correctly
I have contacts written both in English and in Greek, depending on where they reside. It seems to get mixed up because of this and mixes up the Greek contacts inbetween the English ones, in a manner that I cannot justify.
Previously when I had all the Contacts in my local .pst file, it was showing the English ones first and then all the Greek ones, both sorted 100% correctly (by the way, this is how it looks as well in my iPhone). I have also enabled an option in Outlook settings which allows me to create a second index for the Contacts in Greek - this creates a second Greek alphabet next to the already existing English one on the right of the Contacts view. None of that seems to have an effect in the case of the iCloud Contacts folder in Outlook, which doesn't sort as it should.
Has anyone come across this issue and is able to offer some assistance?
Regards.

Some photos are not sorted correctly by date

I just imported some photos from my friends camera who were on the same trip. However, I noticed that a couple (not all) of his photos are not sorted correctly by date in the Event. A photo from day 3 somehow comes before the photos from day 2. I checked the extended information and the dates on the photo are correct. Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution? Thanks.

It might be of some help to delete the photo cache. Please see this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Smart playlist not sorted correctly on ipod

I have a smart playlist in my iTunes 10.0, which contains all podcasts (with play count 0), sorted by release date.
Unfortunately, this playlist is NOT sorted correctly on my ipod (nano, 5th generation). After syncing with itunes, the ipod playlist has some apparently random order (not by release date, not even by name, artist or anything, it really seems random).
It's strange that, if I click on my ipod under "DEVICES" in itunes and click the playlist there, the correct order is shown (by release date). But again, on the ipod it is actually not sorted.
Message was edited by: powerbookuser99

I have a smart playlist for my podcast's and I normally sort them by the date added (oldest to newest) or by release date. No mater what I do now they only show up on my iPhone in date added order newest to oldest and I am unable to re-order them. I have a number of other playlists that work fine it is just this one smart playlist that is acting up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Synced photos from iTunes not sorted correctly

I have around 300 pics that I took with my iphone that I moved to a local folder on PC.
I want to put those pics back on the iphone to use in a timelapse video.
I enabled Photo sync on itunes and chose that folder, and synced.
All synced OK, but these pics are not sorted correctly on the iphone.
The file names on the PC are exactly as iphone assigned them when taken, and according to date taken.
It is very important that they are sorted in ascending file name; any ideas how I can correct the sorting?
Thanks.

For those in this discussion concerned with the "Sort" order, the criteria is in the "metadata" date that changes when you adjust the photos.
The directions below apply to Lightroom
To keep the order you created you must make an adjustment to "ALL" photos at the same time such as increasing the contrast by (1) point.
First select and change the contrast in the first photo in your collection, then select the remaining photos, click "Sync" The "Metatdata" date will change on all photos selected and will then import in the prper order.
I should mention that I have renamed all photos so they have a name that is sequential but I don't know if that matters

My contacts will not sort properly on Macbook Pro

Greetings all,
I'm still trying to learn the Mac OS, only been on it a couple months. Here is my issue, on the Macbook, my contacts will not sort by first name.
On my iPhone and iPad, and when I log in to the iCloud and look at my contacts they are all sorted by First Name, and listed as (First Name, Last Name).
When I go to the Macbook contacts they are sorting by Last Name... I have removed the contacts from my computer, unchecked the contacts rebooted, re-activated the contacts on cloud and they still do not sort the way i want them too....
Can anybody help me please.

You helped me figure it out, I fill like a putz, I did not realize that the Contacts on the Mac OS, actually had its own settings.... I thought they were all controlled by the iCloud settings....
I'm slowly but surely getting things figured out, after using Windows all my life. Thanks a million.

ATV2 not sorting correctly

Has anyone else noticed their ATV2 does not sort TV Shows correctly? Here are a couple of examples -
The Colbert Report is under "T" - AppleTV1 listed it under "C" as it should be
Multiple seasons of of shows are showing up separately. So instead of having a 30ROCK listing in the root list, then clicking that to get to Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 options, I have multiple 30ROCK listings at the root list.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
Or is ATV2 not sorting correctly?

No

It's doing it differently.
Biggest annoyance for many is that TV Shows now have an entry for each Season rather than Seaons being listed under the main show name.
Also metadata tags used to group related films eg Star Wars, Superman etc, in a common folder no longer works.

Video playlists don't work properly either.

Outlook-Updates to EXISTING Calendar and Contact entries not syncing correctly - two PC's

My setup is two PC's (one at work, one at home), one BB. Both PC's Outlook are Outlook 2003, SP3. I do not use BES. I sync my BB to both PCs.
I have experiencing specific issues where updates to existing Outlook Calendar (mtg notes) and Contact (contact notes) are not being sync'd from one PC to the next PC (via my BB device - Sprint Curve 8330 running OS v4.5.0.131). I sync PC's to my BB using BB Desktop Mgr (v4.7) and USB cable.
Here are specific details of what I am doing to duplicate the issues.
1) Calendar:
I have been away from work the past two days. In that time, I have updated two (2) calendar items at my PC at home - both items are at my work PC as well.
Item one: I moved the date from Wed to Thurs, and added a note - done from home PC
Item two: I changed the description of the meeting, and shortened appt from 3 hrs to two hrs - done from home PC
Both items sync OK with my BB
Upon coming to work this morning, neither sync'd to my work PC. I finally did the following:
Item one: I deleted from Desktop Outlook, opened in BB put a space in the meeting description saved.
Item two: Opened on BB, put a space in the meeting description saved.
Upon resyncing, here is what happened
Item one: Sync Mgr noticed conflict of deleting from PC and changed in BB. I chose to copy item to PC. This results in syncing correctly to PC
Item two: Sync'd to PC correctly.
Something is NOT right. The sync process did NOT recognize these two items that changed until I manually intervened (updating on the BB).
2) Contact:
I ran a test today where on my work PC, I added a comment into one contact's note. I successfully sync'd that contact note to my BB. However, when I sync the BB with my home PC, that note did NOT make it to the home PC.
I opened the contact (in edit mode) on my BB, inserted a space to the contact's name, erased the space, and saved the contact.
I then sync'd the BB to the home PC again. This time, success - the contact's note got sync'd to the home PC.
HELP
I have seen this sort of thing a few times before (where sync did not sync a Calendar event/mtg correctly) in the past three months or so I owned my BB - but this is the first time I decided to actually test out the fix. This is the first time I noticed with a contact (maybe b/c i do not look at my Contacts updates as closely as I do my Calendar mtgs updates)

Thanks for your feedback:
2 things..... I somehow had created a duplicate calendar which may have been >blocking the sync. If you have it as well, delete this calendar and try to sync.
I have several calendars in Outlook - there is the main one which contains everything, then where I have marked certain entries as 'Personal' or as 'Anniversaries' etc a separate calendar is created with those entries in them.
Also, I read somewhere that some calendar entries will corrupt the sync of the > phone. Delete all new entries since the last successful sync and enter a test >entry and try to sync the phone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no >indication that an appointment is "bad" other than the phone will stop syncing. >So perhaps after each sync, check the phone to ensure any new entries appear.
I can't possibly tell when the last successful synch occurred! I also don't want to delete entries - I need them all!
There appears to be very little advice on this problem, hopefully this will >work.
Yes, it seems that the Great God Apple isn't anywhere as smart as it thinks it is. I am really frustrated and not a little angry. This is basic stuff for any other phone, let alone a Smart Phone!
Thanks for your comments, though.

Ipad photos not sorting correctly

When you synce your photos the Ipad will not sort them by name but in numeric descending order so your photos will not display in the correct order and there is no other way to sort them unless you own a Mac with Iphotos.... Please fix

I contacted an app maker and they are looking into expanding one of their existing photo apps to allow the iPad user to arrange the order.
I think this is mostly a Windows issue, because I read on another thread that iPhoto on macs allow for sequencing and this carries over to the iPad. Also, if the iPad sequencing is done with the date, then they'll have to determine the best method for dealing with this with that app.
If they do add the functionality to their app, I will post the info here.

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
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

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

-contact sync not working correctly

Frustrated w/my i4. spent 4 hrs w/verizon and 1 1/2 @ apple store. still issues. my contacts denote contact duplication (some, not all, have duplicated 3 times). Also, experienced lost contacts (my kids, some biz associates).
Apple conducted hard reset...and when I plugged in, there was an error message...and then the contact duplication.
NOW...the mobilme has an error "contacts could not be synced due to inconsistent data. (says to go to the Preferences to confirm. not much to confirm as it only asks for order (last or first name sort) and phone numbers (will format automatically).

Hello and welcome....
(says to go to the Preferences to confirm. not much to confirm as it only asks for order (last or first name sort) and phone numbers (will format automatically).
I think that message is referring to System Preferences on your Mac. (Applications/System Preferences). Make sure have the boxes checked for the items you want synced and select the box next to: Synchronize with MobileMe.
the mobilme has an error "contacts could not be synced due to inconsistent data.
Try resetting sync data.
Open System Preferences then select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset Sync Data
Click: Done.
Restart your Mac and your iPhone.

TV shows from iTunes are not sorted correctly on iPod

I bought episodes of a TV show from the iTunes store and all of a sudden nothing is sorted correctly anymore. They're completely fine on iTunes but on my iPod Classic (it's the newest one, 160 GB) it just doesn't seem to want to work. I've tried restoring it a few times but so far, no change. And I've checked all the tags and everything so it shouldn't be wrong but I'm thinking the issue is with my iPod, not iTunes.

I had the same issue with this. what I did to fix it was select the shows in the TV playlist, then apple - i to get info, click on the video tab, select "TV Show" from the "video kind:" pull down menu.
Resync the touch. You should see the files in the video playlist on the Touch. I'm not sure why they let you sync tv shows if they don't appear on the Touch. In any case, the above work around should work for you.
Good luck.

Line Chart X Axis Not Sorted Correctly

I have created a line chart where the x axis is date closed and the y axis is number of days to close. This chart is placed within a group called priority.
When the chart is created the close dates are not on the x axis in ascending order. I'm expecting it to be 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc. but instead I'm getting 10/6, 10/31, 10/28, etc. from left to right.
I've got the Record Sort set to closed date ascending and if I place the records into the report they sort correctly. It's just the chart that sorts incorrectly.
What am I missing here?

Hi Jason,
here is the steps you should follow in order ro set the sorting for barchart.
1. go to chart expert
2. click on data tab
3. select the field in the selected list of report columns on which you have to sort, then the order button will be enabled
4. click on the order button
5 it will open new window by name "chart sort order", where you can set the sorting order(ascending order, descending order, specified order or the original order) for the selected report column.
I hope this will help you..

Pix on touch not sorted correctly after upgrade.

Hi, my pix were sorted by Name in iPhoto'08, iTunes (10) and iPod touch 3g (iOS4).
After upgrading my touch to 4.2.1 last week, they are scrambled on the iPod touch. I created another Event with some pix, which was appended at the bottom. I presume the Events are sorted by date rather than name. I cannot get them back into sort order by Name. They are still sorted correctly in iPhoto and iTunes - not on the iPod. I am stumped. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the hints. I took out the databind() and it still throws the same error.
Also, I tried adding
crReportDocument.SetParameterValue("pi_letters", "LETTERXXX")
just before setting ReportSource and I get the following error:
Failed to open the connection
This confirms to me that the push method is not being used by the application/report since the report is still trying to open a connection with the database and is throwing this error when the logon credentials are not supplied.
Can someone tell me why the push method is not working here? I have a valid dataset, so my thinking is that I shouldn't have to go through the trouble of supplying parameters and logon credentials to the report.
