Contacts - First name / Last name

Hi all,
I have a Nokia N95 8GB on Vodafone.
My contacts are organised so they show First Name then Last Name in the address book.
However in txt messages they only show this way round sometimes.
E.g. sometimes they show First Name then Last Name, and other times they will show up Last Name then First Name.
Very, very anoying when it's the wrong way round sometimes, and the right way round other times.
I have the latest software for my device.
Any ideas!?
Thanks!
- Gavin

Yup have tried resetting the contacts setting to switch it the wrong way round, didn't solve the problem - then back to the correct way round, also didn't solve the problem.
It's just the way that sometimes it shows firstname then lastname, and sometimes it shows lastname then firstname. Not one or the other but both ways round.
I have txts in my inbox that are first name first, underneath txts that are lastname first.
All very confusing I'm sure you can imagine!!

Cannot tab out of contact first name field in CSXSRISR

Hi,
For some specific customers, we have this strange issue. If a value from LOV is chosen for the contact first name, last name or email, user cannot get out of the field. There is no error message. Unless the contact field is cleared, the user cannot enter any more details or save the SR. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Appreciate your help.
Alka.

Hi Alka,
Dont you see any message at bottom left corner of Oracle Apps screen?
Looks like some validation is failing when exiting the field.
Also please check if there is any personalization/customization in the form.

Change Mail COntacts First Name Last Name order

When opening contacts from Mail the contact names are listed and sorted by First name. How do I change this to listing and sorting my last name first?

I believe it honors the preferences in Address book. Try Opening Address book and going to Address Book > Preferences > General Tab > Select Name order and sort by.

Contacts' first name field gets inserted in last name field when syncing

I have a strange behavior when syncing between iOS and the Mac:
A few contacts that I have only have a first name, let's say "Anna".
Everything runs fine on iOS - I write that person a mail and everything's fine. But the moment I write Anna a mail on my Mac the last name field also gets the entry of the first name field, thus leading to the contact "Anna Anna".
All I can do now is delete the last name field and everything's fine till I write a message on my Mac again.
Note: this problem only occurs on my Mac, not on iOS.
Second ote: the moment I'm sending the Mail on my Mac, iOS gets this error over sync.
Third note: I recognized that Mail.app's autocomplete/history of contacts has somehow stored those accounts like "Anna Anna". Removing the Previous Recipients from the list hasn't solved the problem yet.
This problem only covers 4 of my contacts, but being the most used ones this is driving me nuts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Tobi

Address book sync with google contacts - first names and last names flipped

Hi,
I am trying to sync my mac address book with my contacts in google/gmail and I have a strange issue. All my contacts written in english alphabet is syncing correctly, but when I have names in Korean characters, the last name and first name gets flipped. Without fail. All other fields seem to synch correctly, but the first name is mapped to the last name field, and vice versa. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion on an iMac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jay

can anyone answer this?
at some point, I remember being able to do this. 10.5.x maybe? With 10.6 . . . .
I do recall, however, that I stopped doing it because the sync went haywire. I did it the other way around: I have all my contacts in Address Book, so I exported them and uploaded the vCards to Gmail, after deleting all Gmail contacts. That's not such a great option. Surely this is well-automated by now?

Reg supplier/vendor contact first & last name info

Hi,
I have a vendor number. For this I need further info like Contact first and last name info.
Do we have any FM or table which I can get this data.
Thanks in advance.
Deepak.

Hi Deepak,
as I understand your posting, you are not looking for the Vendors name but for the maintained contact data. If thats correct, please take a look at table KNVK if you search the table with your vendor number in field lifnr, it will give you all maintained contact data.
FM WY_KNVK_FOR_VENDOR_CUSTOMER might help.

Birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

Curiously, the most recently inputted entries do sort properly, as do all company entries.
Does that mean "most recently inputted" AFTER you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
If that is true, it would mean that something about your existing records before the upgrade, for the records that are people contacts (with first and last names) instead of business contacts, do not agree with Snow Leopard and/or Snow Leopard's version of Address Book.
This may not be feasible, but if you exported the records with this problems and then imported them, maybe they will be re-inputted so that are properly sorted.
If you use Time Machine, maybe you can use the +flying through space+ interface to restore one of the records with this problem to see if the restore process makes the record sort properly.

TS1702 how do you change the contact app to appear first name last name once it is in another setup mode

how do you change the setup in the contact app to first name, last name once it is in differently

Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Contacts>Sort Order - First, Last or Last, First .... or Display Order and make the changes that you want.

Contacts display first name, last name, except if there's email address then contact info is deleted (?) and email is displayed in contact list.

Confused on these procedures to post.
My contacts should list first name last name, however any contact with an email has info phone numbers and addresses deleted and the email address is displayed in contact list. I know how to change to last name first name but that doesn't help... Any suggestions? Should I delete all contacts and reacquire all through icloud? How?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

First name and last name order in contact list

Actually, my contact list is displayed with the last name before the first name, but everything is fine in Address Book settings (I choosed "First name, Last name" option), and I checked that first name and last name has not been reversed for some reasons between two fields, the first name is right in place, as is the last name.
So changing this is AddressBook has no effect.
I tried disabling Chax, without success.
It could be possible this problem occured when I enabled Microsoft Exchange address book synchronization, (iSync reported 500+ changes in AB database, I did it anyway and noticed no problems in data after synchronization (I still have a backup :-))
One more thing , the displayed name in the iChat menu extra is correct.
So, what could possibly change this behavior I did not already check ?

Hi Yann,
If you add details to the Address card in iChat as you add a Buddy then you need the first set of instructions I posted.
You nee this menu in iChat http://www.flickr.com/photos/90943061@N00/135575605/
In the second section of this menu you can sort the list.
<hr>
Ahhh. I see what you mean.
iChat does in fact always display First Name, Last Name as you say.
Adding a Buddy with the names in the reverse order to display as you want in iChat your Address book gets messed up as it is not consistent with those contacts that are not iChat Buddies.
The only work around I can see is to change all the Address Book entries to match a reverse entry in iChat and then use the Address Book option to display Last Name, First name to show them the 'correct' Fist name, Last name and have them in Last name, First name in iChat.

Sort Contacts by [First Name, Last Name] on Phone

I currently have all of my contacts in Outlook saved and "Filed As" First Name, Last Name. When I go to sync with the phone (through iTunes), the phone still shows all my contacts sorted as Last Name, First Name. I have tried deleting my contacts completely several times to no avail. I am so used to searching by first name first. Can someone please help?
BTW, I did try searching the forum first. Most threads discuss the use of Address Book, which seems to provide a solution. I have not found any solutions to this problem using Outlook though.
Thanks,
Brian

On the iPhone, go into settings/Mail Contacts Calendar and choose sort order under "contacts" as "first, last".

When I sync my contacts with Outlook, the iphone shows them sorted by first name. I want them sorted by last name.

I have my contacts stored in Outlook (sorted by last name). When I sync to my Iphone, the contacts are sorted by first name. I have checked the Settings and show and file are checked as Last, First. What can I do to change this sort?

On the phone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars select the account you want and scroll down to the settings for Contacts. You can change display and sort order there.

I use iCloud to store my contacts but in Outlook it only sorts by first name. Although in iCloud it can be set to sort by last name, I cannot get it to do that in Outlook.
