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?"

  • How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a  1440 x 900 ext not in miror

    How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a 1440 x 900 ext not in miror mode ???
    I have a Lenovo external display :
    H19-inch (483-mm) viewable image size
    Optimum resolution: 1440 x 900
    Tilt stand for viewing comfort adjustments
    16 x 10 aspect ratio
    Analog attachment

    I just bought a wide screen display that also uses 1440 X900 resolution. In mirror mode mine also only allows a maximum of 1280 X ???. I think may be a limitation of the GMA 950 graphics chip set. I never use it in mirrow mode so it doesn't bother me. I prefer extended mode. That way I can keep more windows open and visible.
    I use the question mars because on mine I can use 1280 X any of the resolutions that go with it.

  • Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.

  • Just switched from Samsung Epic to iPhone 4s. Contacts were filed by first name, which I prefer.  But on the iPhone it's by last name.  Is there a way to change that?

    What I found: Go into SETTINGS - Click onto "MAIL,CONTACTS, CALENDARS" then scroll down to CONTACTS and you will see SORT ORDER and DISPLAY ORDER you can change it to first, last or last, first..
    Hope that helps.

    To transfer your data and settings to a new device see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.  You can also use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up the contacts on your phone as attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  If you need to, you can later open this email on your new phone and tap the attachment to import your contacts.

    tell application "Address Book"
       set all_Persons to every person in group "Test"
       repeat with per_son in all_Persons
           set nknm to per_son's nickname
           set per_son's first name to word 1 of nknm

       set {ASTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, space}
       repeat with onePerson in (get people whose nickname is not missing value)
           set N to text items of (get nickname of onePerson)
           tell contents of onePerson
               set first name to text items 1 thru -2 of N as text

           end tell

  • Address Book contacts alphabetized by first name on ipod

    Using iTunes 7.6, I have synced my contacts from Address Book onto my ipod Nano (2nd generation.) They appear on the ipod, but using first name to sort (alphabetize). Very inconvenient! In Address Book I have Preferences set to sort by last name, although also set to have first name listed first. Why would it change when syncing to my ipod and how can I fix? Thanks in advance for help. I have searched discussions and Apple Support.

    Ha...as far as I can tell, the AB will not sort. Please post here if you find out otherwise!
    Also: can it "Look for Duplicate Entries" across selected groups? It doesn't seem like it!

  • Contacts wont list by first name?

    Hey
    I recently changed my cellphone company to which I needed to reset my iPhone to be able to unlock the phone for the new SIM card. Having done that it updated to 4.2.1 and I lost all my contacts (like so many others in here).
    As if that isn't enough, all the contacts I add on my iPhone is sorted by last name instead of first even though I have been to Preferences->Contacts and put the sorting/order to be First name-Last name.
    Any ideas why this isn't working? It is bugging the h#ll out of me!
    Thank you.
    Best regards, Jesper

    As it turned out, it just needed a reboot :-P

  • HT1296 how can i have diffrent contacts on 2 iphones

    How can i set up 2 seperate contacts for  iphone5 and iphone4 on the same itunes account.

    If the person have 2 or many iPhones? Why does the person want to waste money?
    One iPhone can do it all.
    This is a very usual case if someone has a personal phone number and a business phone number. This is done for a number of reasons, including having a separate bill for the business number and so you can avoid taking calls on the business phone when you are technically "unavailable".
    Besides the group idea, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having two separate iCloud accounts for one's personal and business use. Just as with the phone number, the email contacts, email account, calendar, etc. can all be kept separate.
