ISync: Sony Ericson 750i: How do I sort contacts by last name?

Unlike apples adressbook, my cellphone (Sony Ericsson 750i) does not have different fields for "first name" and "surname", which means, that all my contacts are sorted by first name.
How can I change this?

On the phone, go to *Contacts > Options > Advanced > Sync Order*
or see page 59 in the user guide:

How do I sort by employee last name when grouped by employee id?

Hi,
The first Group is: Employee ID.
The second Group is: Employee Last Name.
I wish to sort the entire report by Employee Last Name; however, standard crystal reports sorting functionality doesn't present me with this ability. As a result, the report is sorted by Employee ID.
Can someone help me how to sort by Employee Last Name in this scenario?
thx,
Mark

Hi Mark,
When you create a Group in the report, Crystal reports automatically adds the grouped fields in the Sort list which unfortunately cannot be removed! You cannot change the priority of the sort fields too, and the only way of achieving this is by actually changing the group order. But it wouldn't help the purpose.
As a workaround, here's what you can do though:
1) Create a command object and provide a pre-sorted result set to Crystal Reports. In this situation you would probably create a command object like :
select Emp_ID, Last_Name from Emp order by Last_Name asc
2) Create the 2 groups in the report again. Open the 'Group Expert', click on the first group and then click 'Options'
3) The Sort order for this group would be 'in ascending order' by default. Change it to 'in original order'
4) Repeat the above step for the next group
This is the only way I know of sorting a report on another field.
Let me know how this goes!

How do I sort artists by last name in iTunes?

HHow do I sort artist by last name in iTunes without tagging each album?

For individual songs, Get Info has a sort field. If you have a lot of songs, it will still be a lot of work to get caught up, though.

Sorting Contacts by Last Name on DROID 2 Global

I have not been able to find a way to sort my contacts by last name then first. My contacts are downloaded from my exchange server. Within my Outlook client they are sorted by Last name. Is there a fix for this?

For the droid2, unfortunately not that I know of. The custom contacts manager that Motorola added to the D2 doesn't support sorting by last name.
Until Android 2.2 the Android OS didn't support it at all. In the 2.2 update that was provided an option for this was added, but with Motorola providing a "custom version" of the contacts manager, this option never made it in.
Sorry.

Sort contacts by last name, not phonetic last name

When I try to sort my Contacts by "Last, First", iOS (version 5 on iPhone 4) actually sorts them by Phonetic last name, then phonetic first name. I have populated the Phonetic names of some people with deceptive name spellings so I can voice dial them, but obviously want them to sort by their actual listed spelling—silent letters and all. Is there a way to work around this problem or is this an Apple bug.

Basic searches for "sort phonetic iphone" turn up LOADS of gripes about the downside of using the phonetic fields (non-alphabetized sorting) which almost certainly outweigh the benefits of same field's use.
Look at these ARCHIVED discussions (TONS of views, no fixes replied with) on Apple's own support forums from YEARS ago. Why hasn't this obvious BUG been addressed in years worth of updates? Come on Apple!
Address Book Alphabetizes Names by Phonetic Spelling
201 Views 0 Replies Latest reply: Feb 1, 2009 2:04 PM by Merged Content 1
When entering a phonetic spelling in Address Book for a Contact's name that is hard to pronounce, Address Book files that Contact by the phonetic spelling instead of their real name. It is very odd to file Contacts this way; most people look up someone's name by the way it is spelled. It is too difficult to remember letters used to aid pronunciation when looking it up. For example, a common Vietnamese name 'Nguyen' is actually pronounced 'wen'. If I enter 'wen' in the phonetic spelling field, I will have to remember to look up Mr. Nguyen under 'W'.
Filing under the contact's real name would be best, but an option could be at least allowing a choice between the real and phonetic name; just like the choice of filing by 'Company' or 'Contact' that Address Book currently has.
Anyone figured a work around for this? I sent Apple feedback on the problem, but it hasn't changed in 3 years.

In order to make better use of the iPhone 3GS voice control dialing feature, I have add phonetic representations for some of my contacts. However, when I do this I noticed that the address app sorts these contacts by their phonetic spelling. (For instance the name 'Zhou' is pronounced 'Jo', and is sorted under the letter J).
This seems kind of weird default behavior and should at least be configurable. Anyone know some way to do this?
Thanks

Sort Contacts by Last Name

Is there a way to sort the contacts list by last name?

You cant do this with Froyo 2.2.1 but this option is in the new Gingerbread update, try waiting a lttle more time because it appears the update may be out soon..

Sorting "artist" by last name

How do I sort artists by last name, i.e. Davis, Miles rather than Miles Davis?

I don't believe this issue is resolved. I believe it is a fundamental flaw in the iPod. If I'm look for a Frank Zappa song, iPod sorts it so that it's filed under "F" for Frank. Blech. The problem is, iPod does not have artist first and last name fields, just "Artist".
So the solution proposed above does work, but man, what a pain.
In the case above, an alternative (and quicker?) solution is to change the Artist Name sort field to "Davis" or "Davis, Miles" click OK, then click apply Artist sort to all songs by this artist, which iPod will do gracefully. But, man, with over 3,000 songs and who knows how many hundreds of Artists, Albums, and individual cuts, what an arduous process!
The fix is to have first and last name fields or to get "smart" and recognize a space between names so that an algorithm could be written to sort properly. Of course in that scenario, doing a mass conversion, "Led Zeppelin" would be filed as "Zeppelin, Led". Argh. (File as Zep).

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

How can i sort contacts according to company name on my iPhone

how can i sort contacts according to company name on my iPhone

That is not a sorting option in the built in app. There are other apps in the App Store that can access your contact information. Perhaps there is one that will let you do that.

N97 How to sort contacts by company name

Is it possible to sort contacts by company name rather than first name,last name etc?

This is a HUGE shortcoming of Nokia's contacts app, which is still the most awkward and "old style numeric keypad telephone" oriented applications in the Nokia software suite on smartphones.
It's the only reason why I am still sometimes missing my Blackberry. There you find everything so quickly, and not only just typing in the individual's name, nor having to use that Nokia general search tool.
But now that Nokia FINALLY introduced a year ago "finding names typing", without launching the contacts application first I still have the hope that Nokia will release one day a REALLY user friendly, fast and flexible fully integrated agenda suite...

Contacts sorted by phonetic last name

When I enter a phonetic last name for a contact, that contact is then alphabetized by the phonetic name, not the real name. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem, maybe I can provide more details.
When creating a new contact, in "Additional fields" there is for example "Phonectic first name" and "Phonetic last name". This would be used if a name is pronounced differently than how it is written or if a name is difficult to pronounce one could put in an easier name here.
My contacts are sorted by last name. Now for example I enter the following new contact:
First name: Margaret / Last Name: Baumann / Phonetic first Name: Grit
Now, my contacts under "B" look as below. Sorted correctly by last name, Bauman Margaret should be 2nd from the top, but she is last in the list, after Ben... and Ber... (the ... are only for anonymizing purposes)
Bar... M...
Bau... R...
Bau... W...
Ben... B...
Ben... F...
Ber... P...
Baumann Margrit
If I remove the phonetic first name, the contact is shown correctly as 2nd from the top.

I have my contacts sorted and displayed last name, first name - however when I access my contact list via message they display first name, last name - WHY????

Contacts sorted and dispalyed last name, first name - why when I access contacts via messaging do they display first name, last name?

Hi
It is when I tap on the +....
My husbands display with first name first but grouped by surname alphabetically.
Thanks

How to separate two contact with same name

Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!

FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

How can I sort photos by file name in Photos?

New Photos seems to be very limiting, even compared to iPhoto. How can I sort photos by filename? Many photos that worked in iPhoto, can't be viewed in Photos.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Titles don't use the filename any longer, but if you must have them you might be interested in Léonie's script here.
