E66: Configuring contact sort order when composing...

Dear friends,
This is probably a silly issue but still, I can't find a solution... I have upgraded my aging Nokia E66 RM-343 to 400.21.013 (this version was suggested by the Nokia Suite and it keeps telling me that this is the latest version). After the upgrade and restoring the phone settings, I am having problems with the contacts sort order when choosing recipients for an SMS message.
I have configured the contact list for the "Last Name First Name" display order, and when making a voice call, the sort order is correct - the contacts are sorted by the last name. However, when writing an SMS message and choosing the recipients, the contact list is displayed in the "Last Name, First Name" mode but it is sorted by the first name which is extremely confusing and inconvenient.
I just do not seem to be able to find where the sort order for the contact list as displayed when composing an SMS message can be configured. Anyone have any suggestion/hint? Thank you very much in forward!
Best regards,
Peter

Unfortunately, the 6230i seems to have only one field for the contact name, so it has no way of knowing what is what. I guess the only thing you can do is reinput all the names manually.

  • Not found in Contacts - erorr message when composing SMS text message after Software Update 1.07 Sprint Centro

    Hardware: Palm Centro
    Wireless: Sprint
    PC OS: Windows XP Pro
    After installing the "Software Update 1.07 (Windows installer) for Centro for Sprint" (Article ID: 6012 - http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/60​12_en.html) starting from http://sprint.com/downloads, I noticed the stock Palm Messaging application that comes with the device did not work as it did prior to the update.
    I was able to fix it. Here's what the problem was and what I did to correct it.
    "Not found in Contacts" message appeared when composing and addressing a new SMS text message.
    In the Contacts app, Options>Preferences, I simply reordered the contacts from "Last Name, First Name" to "Company, Last Name", and saved the change.
    I then immediately went back into the same preference, and changed the setting back from "Company, Last Name" to "Last Name, First Name", and saved that change.
    Going back to the Messaging application, when composing a new message, now the Contacts database is linked again. Whew!

    Thank you for this information. This should help others out.

  • List of found events changes sort order when pasted from clipboard

    when I find a set of events in iCal, the list appears in the window at the bottom of the page in the correct sort order when sorted by date, title or type. When I then copy that list to the clipboard and paste it into another program (Pages, MacJournal, TextEdit) the sort order changes.
    I work mostly in English, but my macbookpro keyboard is German, so I assume the problem is with the language settings. I've tried changing the system preferences for language and sort order, and that changes the sort order, but it doesn't get it right.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

    Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230.   Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox---   In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine,  but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even  when I  close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order.  This is driving my crazy  because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
    In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

    If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

    Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
    I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
    OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
    Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.

  • How to change sort order when viewing all tracks by an artist?

    When I choose:
    Music --> Artists --> <any artist> --> All
    The tracks are organized in the order they apear in an alphabetized list of that artist's albums.
    For example:
    Joe Blow - CD 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Joe Blow - CD 2
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    In the "All Songs By Artist" list, the songs appear as:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    How can I cange the sort order, so that they are sorted alphabetically, like this?
    Track 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 3
    Thanks,

    I'm pretty sure you can't do that.

  • 'Film Rolls' View loses sort order when finding photos via Keywords or text

    I have my iPhoto Library sorted by Film Roll so when I select 'Library' in the source list I see my rolls listed in date order in the viewing area.
    If I try and find photos using the keywords pane or the search field the rolls which match are displayed in the viewing area but the order they are listed is no longer according to their date but some (seemingly) random order.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I find that if I have my rolls sorted by Film roll and Ascending (by roll date) the keyword search results will have the rolls in the correct chronological order.
    However if I change the sort order to Descending , the search order remains as Ascending by roll date.
    If you create a Smart album for a keyword search then you can sort the photos by any criteria you'd like: Date, Keyword (redundant), Rating or Title and Ascending or Descending.

  • Playlists lose sort order when burning to CD

    I have several MP3 tracks I need to burn to MP3 CD, and they need to appear in order. I've tagged the MP3 files using XLD (track name/number, etc). I followed the Apple Support Guidelines for burning playlists with a particular sort order. I've tried all 3 methods, including manually dragging the files into the correct order and right-clicking/choosing "Copy to Play Order". The playlist appears in the correct order, however when I go ahead and burn the CD, the contents of the disc appear out of iTunes, regardless of what I do. I've looked all over Google and found people with similar issues to mine but, as of yet, no workable solution.

    Has anyone been able to solve this maddening problem? I can't understand why iTunes doesn't sort the disc in alphabetical ascending order. The MP3 files are all tagged sequentially, starting with track number – so why does track 5 appear first in the playlist order? My only other alternative to burning with iTunes is to use Toast, which produces MP3 CDs that don't mount in iTunes. A quick search of the forums proves I'm not the only person having these problems.

  • Maintaining iPhoto sort order when sending to iDVD

    Hello - I have a few iPhoto Events I'd like to put on a DVD as separate chapters.
    However, the sorting order I set when viewing Events (using the title) is not preserved when I send them to iDVD. iDVD seems to get them sorted by file name.
    A work-around is to export the slides by title (not file name) then re-import them into iDVD but this takes time and brain power.
    Is there a faster way to preserve the viewing order when sending iPhoto Event pictures to iDVD?
    All help gratefully received.
    David.

    David,
    Create an Album in iPhoto (one for each slideshow) and arrange it the way you want. The Media Pane in iDVD should see the Albums and let you select one. You can drag a whole album into the Slideshow creation window and iDVD will import it, preserving the album order.
    Regards.

  • Contacts sort order after updating to firmware 051...

    I am just after updating my E52 with 051.018 Firmware. Before firmware update I done my contacts like this: 01 Val, 02 John, 03 Dad etc... so that when I selected contacts the numbers I most used/dialled come up at the top of the list but now after updating my firmware the contacts at the top of the list are those starting with A  - I have tried going into settings and choosing the order of first name last name but its still the same. I suppose a workaround would be to edit my contacts so that 01 Val becomes AA Val and 02 john becomes AB John but I would really like to keep them as before I updated the firmware if anyone knows a solution. Many thanks,
    Andy.

    The problem was solved. It apparently had to do with DNS server settings. I subscribe to Unblock-US here in Canada, and that messed up communication between the Bravia and the Sony servers. I have my DNS settings set on the router level, so what I had to is to simply bypass the router settings by setting new DNS addresses on the Bravia itself. I used the Google DNS for the Bravia:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    Of course, with this configuration, I can no longer access US content on my Netflix on the Bravia television. What I find strange is that this was never a problem prior to the update, so I guess Sony is locking down on geoblocking with this latest update.

  • Contacts Sort Order

    I have recently moved from a Windows Mobile 6.5 device to the iPhone 4 and am struggling with getting my contacts to work properly. (I am having the same issue on my iPad, so I assume it is an iOS issue that I don't fully understand).
    On my computer, my contacts are all entered properly in the proper fields of First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix and so forth. In Outlook and Google Contacts, they all sort properly by Last Name, First Name.
    When I sync across to the iPhone, they sort Last Name, First Name UNLESS there is an entry in the Suffix field, in which case it sorts Suffix, First Name!!!
    I thought I was missing a bunch of contacts. For Example, all of my P.Eng. (Professional Engineer) contacts were filed under "P" on the handset instead of their last names.
    How do I fix this? Short of deleting all of the Suffix fields, I can't seem to figure it out.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike:
    Have you solved this problem? Mine is almost exactly the same.
    I have a new iPhone 4. Using iTunes, I imported my Outlook Express contacts to the phone. Separately, I imported my Outlook Express contacts to Gmail.
    Then I decided to utilize the Microsoft Exchange feature on the iphone to automatically sync my Gmail contacts to the phone.
    It seems to have all worked correctly EXCEPT for the sorting function.
    More specifically, the sorting function seems to work, but the contact first, middle and last names and suffix fields have been rearranged.
    As a result, the sorting is wrong.
    As you stated, my Gmail contacts all appear correct.
    The problem started with the Microsoft Exchange feature. Previously, when my contacts were imported using iTunes, all the contact name fields were correct.
    Do you have any suggestions?

  • Line details sort order when using Pick and Pack

    Hi,
    A customer of mine recently complained (very small complain) that when he used "Per date" as a sort when using Pick & Pack, that the line details where not grouped together by Sales Order Number.
    Example:
    2008/11/23   SO1001 - Line 1
    2008/11/23   SO1013 - Line 3
    2008/11/23   SO1001 - Line 2
    2008/11/23   SO1001 - Line 4
    2008/11/23   SO1021 - Line 1
    2008/11/23   SO1001 - Line 5
    etc...
    Is there a way to sort records on two columns instead of just one? or would there be another workaround this issue?
    Thanks
    Charles

    I think I found my answer, sorting data using the Data/Sort feature allows for sorting on multiple columns.

  • Listdata.svc Feed not returning correct sort order when you apply multiple sort functions.

    Hi,
    Am using the listdata.svc to access and update Sharepoint list.
    When i do the folowing query

    It returns the results as if it was only filtering by the Created field and ignores the ContentType Filter.
    Seems like a bug to me.

    Hi Mitchell,
    I made a test in my environment with the URL below and it sort for the both field.
    https://xxx/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/List5?$select=Title,Test1&$orderby=Title,Test1
    I suggest you create a simple rest url to query and sort item to test whether it works.

  • Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

    In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

    It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
    It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
    First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
    Accept it as it is.
    Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
    Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
    Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
    Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
    Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

  • CCM Display List Sort Order

    Hello All,
    when the CCM search screen is brought into the SRM the items are displayed without any default sort order. is there a way to configure a specific order when the list is first displayed? i know that clicking on the column will enable sorting, but i would like to know if there is any setting that can predetermine the sort order before the list is displayed in SRM.
    thx in advance for your answers.

    Greg: there is no Customizing setting you can control the sort order with. I feel your pain :). Short of modifying the system, the only way you may be able to achieve the desired functionality is BAdI /CCM/CSE_ENRICHMENT.
