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.

  • Iphone4s; Contacts : I want to order my contacts through their first name

    Good Day ! I just wanna ask if there is a possibility that i could sort my contacts through their first name because on my iphone (3Gs) it is possible.
    Example : John Smith
                     Steve Jobbs
    -What I actually would like to happen is that the name "John" will come first before "Steve" but in Iphone 4/4s, the order will be "Steve Jobbs" then "John Smith" because of their last name.
    I've tried the solution, Settings -> Mail,Contacts,Calendars -> Contacts (then Sort and Display Order)
    But the thing that I want still haven't solved. Is there any way that I could work this out?
    I hope someone could help me/us solve this. Thank you ! Godbless.

    Well, I don't know what to tell you, the only way to sort/display contacts on your phone is through those settings.

  • How to connect the database (JDBC) using service name rather than SID

    How should we make the connection to the database using service name. Initially, we are using the SID to make the database connection, with following setting in the data-source.xml in OC4J using ABCDB as the SID.
    <data-sources>
         <data-source
              class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
              name="jdbc/ABCDB"
              location="jdbc/ABCDB"
              pooled-location="jdbc/OracleDSPooled"
              xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleDSXA"
              connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
              username="ABC"
              password="ABC"
              url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@191.1.4.126:1521:ABCDB"
         />
    </data-sources>
    It work, but now we need to make the connection using this service name ABCSERVICE, but it doesn't work in the OC4J (JDBC). May I know how should we handle this connection?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Pang

    Finally, I got the solution to make the database connection using service name, with putting the tnsname setting in URL portion.
    url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host=191.1.4.126)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(SERVICE_NAME = ABCSERVICE)))"
    And now, it is working fine.

  • How to create global Contact list using OSX Server Contacts Service?

    My goal is to create a global contact list for the use of my department at work. We currently have 5 MBP's and a Mac Mini Server running OSX Server.
    I have read so many forum posts and so called "solutions" that my head is completly spinning... like a record... right round... you get the idea.
    I talked with Apple Support, and they are going to walk me through the process of changing our network from "local" to a legitimate internet network. Enabling DNS and setting up open directory are some of the steps, and all in all i was impressed with the support i received. We did a complete walkthough of all the steps it would take to change everything, without actually making any changes (because I could not shut down the company server at the time I called).
    All that being said, I have been reading that actually creating and sharing a global contact list (and enabling specific user access for read/write for said list) is not as simple as Apple is telling me. I have read so many horror stories about not being able to edit the list, having duplicate lists and entries, and many other problems. It seems that this "Contact Service" is not really what its billed as.
    Im just looking for someone who has this already setup to shine some light on my questions/concerns. I have scoured the internet for information, and either i'm looking in the wrong place or I just happen to have the WORST possible combination of OS X versions, server versions and so on. I would expect a company who charges such high prices for its products to design them to ACTUALLY WORK how they are advertised to work!
    Thanks in advance and a thousand kudos to anybody that can help!!!
    -John

    That sounds like one viable option...
    The only problem is that I'm not sure how that would behave once the client MBP's are taken off site and connect to the network over a VPN or something of that sort.
    I figure since we have purchased the Server App and it contains the Contacts Service, I should try and get it to work that way (through that specific service on the server app).
    I would really prefer to not have to install yet another piece of software just to do something that should already work (or have the ability to be configured to work). None of us here are "Power Users", and we are all learning as we go and I got the role of the "IT Guy" when it comes to setting everything up. I'm dealing with lifetime Windows users here, and I feel there is a need to keep everything literally as easy as possible to use.
    I will keep your solution in the front of my mind though, as it sounds like that may work. I am not exactly 100% familiar with the OSX Server or the Mac OS yet, and I'm not positive where you would add the users (I couldn't just sit down and do what you suggested, i unfortunately would need a step by step solution so I don't fuss up our entire system).
    If you feel like giving a step by step, that would be awesome just for future reference or for anyone else having similar problems. If not, I don't blame you at all.
    Thanks for your reply, and if I find a clear-cut solution I will post it here!
    Thanks,

  • How do I import contact list using advanced template?

    I used to be able to do this - but don't seem to be able to see the option with the new interface. I originally downloaded the advanced excel template - it had more fields than the basic template available on the 'Import contacts' page.

    Hi
    I believe you are trying to import contacts in CRM,
    You just need to import the file through CRM > Customers > Advance Import.
    If you want to import only Email, Title, First name , Surname and company name you can go with basic import , else use Import contacts(Advanced)

  • 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.

    Hello,
    Could someone please advise me on how to set the phone to show Contact/Names on first name basis. Currently it was set to Last Name, so whenever I seach I need to search last name.
    My old phone allows me search on first name basis but I can no longer find the setting on C2-01.
    You advise would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance. 

    great.!!!! But the search result is having a company partner.
    Why is it empty most of the time even a company partner is maintained.
    And let me ask about customer contact - account management and contact- -
    For this, the company partner is always empty.

    You could try the search method of UserProfileManager.

    SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site);
