Contacts - listed by first name, not last *!@

OSX 10.3.9
I have imported my contacts from my Address Book, but instead of listing alphabetically by last name, as they appear in the Address Book or when I import them into Palm, they show up Alphabetized by first name.
How do I change this?

In order to list the Contacts by Company Name as opposed to First/Last you have to save them as such on your Address Book on your computer first.
Under each contact that you wish to list under Company, select edit and check the box under the First & Last name that says "Company". This will save you that view both on your Address Book and on the iPhone once you sync it again.
Alternatively you can check the "This is a company" from the pull down menu under "Card". There may be a way to select all and do them all at once but I am not aware of it.
Hope it helps.

HT2490 how do i have my contacts display alphabetically by first name not last name

How can I have my contact list sorted alphabeticially by first name (like on my iphone) and not by last name.
Thanks!

On your menu bar with AddressBook open choose AddressBook menu item > General tab > "Sort by" should be an option?"

Why are some contacts listed by first name others by last name.

I synchronize my iPhone with an MS Exchange Server. Some contacts on my iPhone are listed by first others by lastname. I checked my Outlook - All contacts are the same!
Does someone know this Problem?

Unfortunately, I think that's just how android does it. I couldn't find a setting anywhere.

How to order the contact list using first name alphabetically

I have just imported my contact list and it has organised them elphabetically by the second name even if this does not correspond to a surname. for example kate Mobile comes up under M, and kate Home comes up under H. as most of my contacts are eiether stored as home or mobile this is useless.

Settings>mail, contacts & calendars> scroll to the bottom and choose both your sort and display order.
Though it would be better to just make one entry for Kate Doe and list all her phone numbers there.

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.

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.

View of Contacts surname, first name NOT first name, surname

Required is the view of contacts with surname, first name.
This is impossible to adjust and a No-Go for business.

While that is currently not possible in the contact listing view, it could be updated in a future upgrade. I hope it will be.

Anyone have problems with apple ID's? I have the correct ID in my settings but when I try to update my apps my ID shows my first name and last name but not my ID? I'm not sure what else to do because I've made sure I have the correct ID in my settings!

I think its meant to show your name, not your ID.

Contact with same first name as previous, overwrit...

PC Suite 6.84. When I create a new contact with the same first name as an existing contact in PC Suite, and then I save it to the phone, the new contact info overwrites the old!
For example:
first name: Airlines
last name: United
So that entry is there.
But then if I add:
first name: Airlines
last name: US Air
The United Airlines entry is not longer there, only the US Air entry.
I want "Airlines" as all the first names because then they should all be grouped together in the contacts list (sorted by 1st name).

What phone model do you have ?

When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Getting approver first name and last name

Hi,
Im using Multi Approval sub process for sending Approval request to multiple approvers, im unable to get the first name and last name of the approver who had responded to it.

Hello,
The <ref>Actual_Approver</ref> should bring you back the accountId for the actual approver for that item. Depending on how your setup is you should be able to take that information and call out to your resource and bring back that user's specific attributes. Granted your internal accountId, and your resource account Id are probably not the same so you might have to do some massaging, but you can get what you need....There should be a way to do it internally also..references the fullname attibute..but off the top of my head I can't think of a way to do that.
Hope this helps.

JPDK : first name and last name

hi
Using JPDK, I would like to build a portlet that displays the Portal user's first name and last name. (This information was provide when I created the Portal user.)
Seems to me that this should not be difficult, but I don't know what API I'm supposed to use.
Suggestions anyone?
tnx
-Jan

hi
In 9iAS r2, Oracle Portal uses Oracle Internet Directory to store data about a Portal user.
Would it be "good practice" to use the information returned from ProviderUser.getName() to query OID for the first name and last name?
If not, what is the "intended way" to do this?
tnx
-Jan
