How can I get one email address in an address group to sort first in mail?

I have a group with about 100 contacts.  Mail sorts these contacts in a way I can not fathom.  I would like one of the contacts to appear "first" in the list of Mail addressees.  I've tried starting the contact name an "A" and a "1".  I've tried starting the email name and isp name the same way.  Each time, the contact appears in a different place in the Mail address list but never first.  Thanks

Sorry, I just found a similar question which was answered by VK as:
"I'm not sure what Mail uses to determine the order the emails are listed when you do this. It may be related to the internal UIDs address book assigns to all contacts. those are assigned in the order the contacts were added to Address Book. this is not terribly useful."
VK proceeded to offer a software technique for resorting addressees which I could not understand.
It looks like I'm stuck.
There's another question I ask every time I'm in an Apple store, "why not list the groups associated with each contact in the lower right box of each contact; next to the latest revision date.  So easy and so useful.  I never get a good answer.
Generally, I find Apple programmers the best in the world for making things intuitive.  Not so with Mail... :-(

  • How can i get my emails in the hotmail POP folder, to reload into Mac Mail?

    On the hotmail page, it has the 'inbox/ but it also has a folder named POP.  In this folder it saves months worth of emails, older than the ones in the regular inbox.  I keep whats important and often refer back to the old ones in this POP folder.  The hard drive failed on my macbook pro, so i lost all of the emails that i normally hold onto.  Now that i have a new hard drive, i'm rebuilding my data, and would like to get the emails out of that POP folder to reload into my mac.  I cannot find anyway to do this!  All that loads into my mac mail, is new emails.  Any idea how i can get these to load?  There are 2000 of them, so resending each one isn't really an option!!!

    What software version are you using?
    All moving and copying should be done from inside the application.
    Try using the relink function to point to the moved files.

    Hello!
    Please check in the Mail preferences if you have any mail rules activated: "mail > Preferences > Rules"
    If so, uncheck the rules and test if your issue is resolved in the future (perhaps by sending yourself a few mails)

    You can't add or change a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) until you can answer your questions - if you don't already have one then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    When you've got them reset you will then be able to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    I want to email photos on a different email system, gmail. How can I get the email icon of iphoto to put my photo on a gmail email?

    If you have Mail setup a a client for your Gmail account set iPhoto to use Mail.  Then select one of Mail's stationary templates for photos and use it. May not be as good as the iPhoto templates but will be fancier than a plain email window.

  • HT5625 I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

    I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

  • How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

    How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

    Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
    If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

    Do you mean to create a clickable hyperlink while composing a new mail?
    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.
