How to alphabetize by last name
Hi--sorry if this relatively basic question has been asked/answered 1,000 times, but I could not find a solution anywhere...
I work a lot with columns of names, like the following:
Amy Jones
Carrie & Bill Walker
Paul Brown Henderson
I do not use a first name and a last name column because 99% of the time, I need the names in their entirety, and often (as in the second example) there is more than one person for a single row's entry.
Is there an easy way to reliably alphabatize a list like this by last name?
I have been using the formula =RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))) in a companion column, and then sorting that column. This finds the first instance of a space in A1, then pulls out everything that comes afterward. It works pretty well, EXCEPT when there is more than one space, as in examples 2 and 3 above.
Does anyone have a better solution?
Thank you!!!
Hi Q,
Here's an approach that take some hidden columns, but is easy.
The formulas in columns B, C, and D (which may be hidden) area:
B: =IFERROR(FIND(" ", A), "")
C: =IFERROR(FIND(" ", $A, B+1), "")
D: =IFERROR(FIND(" ", $A, C+1), "")
The formula in the Last Name column is:
=RIGHT(A, LEN(A)-MAX(B2:D2)) in cell E2, Fill Down.
When you sort, you will get any blanks ahead of the last names. That won't be a bother if you eliminate empty rows before sorting. Or, you can just ignore the empty rows ending up at the top of your table.

Jerry

How doI change my last name on my bill and profile? Using maiden name, need to update to married name
Yea its a good thing to update because 95% of the Time a Rep. may ask for the Primary owner of the lines and if your not that person you can't hardly do squat with it. Case in point with my With our Lines my Mom was the Primary owner and i couldn't do Anything with out them wanting to talk to her first. Getting a Phone, Making Changes, Check statuses, Heck there was one time i remember i couldn't even pay the bill not exaggerating there it was basically out of my Hands my Mom got tired of this and she changed it.. Now that i'm considered as second Owner and i can do as only my mom could there are a still a Few rare occasions that a Rep will ask for her on but for the Most of it i have free Range with the Account.. b33

ThanksIf homework I'd probably be looking at the string manipulation functions. If a real application I'd be looking at a different table design, and given that these look like xml tags that are or should be defined in a schema, using XMLDB.

How to remove mandatory field for Last Name in Personal Data Editing Screen
Hello All,
CUrrently we are using BP_ ERP5ESS1.31 SP5 & SAP_ESS 603 SP5.
All my ESS Services are Displaying fine and working from Portal.I am having the requirement like I need to make Last Name as Non-Mandatory field in Personal Data. While Editing the PD Screen, there i will find the * mark for Last Name filed, i checked through the Global Personalization Make as Mandatory is Not Personalized its showing, i think its defualt prpoerty,so i am unable make any changes from Portal w.r.t Global Personalization.
I checked in SPRO-- Personal Admin> Custmomizing User Interfaces>Change Screen Modifications, there i find the respective Module pool for those Infotypes and country Specific..
I cheked forModulePool MP000200--> P0002 and Variable Key-40(For India) P0002 - NACHIN -- LastName only OF Radio Button is Selected all other Rado buttons are not selected.
I Checked in V_T588MFPROPS view there for 0002 Infotype P0002 -- NACHN Mandatory check box is Checked all other check boxes are Unchecked.
How to make that Last Name field as Non-Mandatory in Personal Data Edit Screen, where i need to make the changes.'
Please list out the Steps..Where i need to do the configuration. And i assigned all the required ESS roles on the backend.
Thanks in Advance
AdapagHi,
I don't think supressing through Global Personalization will change the business logic. Within the Business Logic it checks for the mandatory field.
After the changes I guess you need to make the changes accordingly.
The below link might be of some help.

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.

Hello,
As I mentioned, my Apple iD has an incorrect last name for my account, so everytime I send an email the recipent doesn't know it comes from me as it seems that the email was sent by another person.
I've changed my las name a few times through the email preferences at icloud.com but it keeps changing back to the previous name.
Do you know how can I set up my name to be correct again?
Thanks for your time and help!All you can do is not give him your Apple ID password.He can use existing apps and music on the iPod and can sync with iTunes. In order to make any purchases he would have to enter your Apple ID password.

I yesterday switched from I-mate PDA2K and got over 200 contacts from Outlook to my 6820 in format of first name space father name space second name. Terrible!
My phone fails to search by the last name - search is useless in fact. And last names are almost invisible because of long first and father names in Russian.
It's a nightmare. Could anybody help please? How to sync with Outlook to have last name first???

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).
After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending' -

When application quits - it's all forgotten and it self-resets to
unwanted configuration.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. -
After intalling some updates for Final cut, I m asked to put my first and last names and serial number which unfortunatelt i do not have. how do i go about this?
To add to what BenB advised, make sure you have proof of purchase when you call Apple for a replacement serial number.
For future reference, it is a good idea to keep all software serial numbers in a database or text document. Considering the cost of the software, keeping a list of serial numbers can come in very handy at times like this.

Windows domain how to get full user name with last name.
Hi:
I hope someone find the answer, I wrote this question before in the old forum http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5450216, but I didn't get an answer so I am migrating my question.
Is there a way to get the full user name from a windows domain? Like the one that you see in the windows start menu on the top.
I have an application that needs to print a report with the full user name with last name and everything (Example: John F. Doe, not jdoe), so they can sign above the name. Please tell me if there's an api or jar, because the only thing I can get right now is the username. One more thing, it's a stand alone java swing application.
I will appreciate your help.

How do I sort my address book by the last name, not the first name
AS I created my address book the names were added randomly to the address book. When I print out the address book the names come up with first name, Last name (all in random order alphabetically). I would like them to come up with Last name, first name, email address in alphabetic order by the Last Name. How do I get them sorted corretly??
Enable the menu in the Address Book. Then look at the options under View and Sort By.
