Nokia E61 - Showing last name first in inbox

I just got the E61 - and I'm loving it.
However, there's one thing that bothers me. When I got the phone it came (by default) showing the last name first on all my contacts - I quickly changed it to "First Name Last Name". So far, so good.
But my inbox doesn't seem to follow this setting. I'm still getting Last Name First Name. But, in my Sent Items, it will actually show First Name Last Name *if* I started the "conversation" - meaning that all the SMS messages that I have sent are shown as First Name Last Name, but all replied messages are shown as Last Name First Name (just like the inbox).
Any ideas, or is this just a bug - or even a "feature"?

My Mail Account in linked to my address book. The address book shows First Name, Last Name. When I start an email in Mail, the name does appear but the order is reversed...Last Name, First Name. I must have changed a setting somewhere but I don't know where. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I don't have any problem with my system. My guess is there is something there you aren't quite getting. I'd recommend a visit to your Apple Store, AASP or to contact AppleCare so they can coach you personally.
You can also play with the Address Book Preferences. However to see how changing a Preference affects the Address Book drag the Preferences window off of the Address Book so you can see both the Preferences window and Address Book Windows. Then toggle a Preference and you will see it instantly changes in the Address Book.

Mail AND entourage showing contacts in the order last name, first name?

hi, I want to use mail and entourage parallel. mail can display the name in the "correct" order last name, first name. using entourage I cannot find this option. it´s always a mess, sorted by last name, but in the order: first name last name.
Does somebody know the solution how to tell entourage to behave like mail in this matter ?

Templeton's suggestion is best if needing help with Microsoft Entourage. Since I know the answer is "not possible" I can at least steer you toward an AppleScript that will give you a workaround. Have a look here <http://www.barryw.net/weblog/files/category-5.html>.
Further questions about this script should be directed either to its author or to Microsoft's Entourage newsgroup <http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage>.
Hope this helps! bill

How do I force Mail to show messages from me addressed last name, first?

I'm relatively new to Mac and to Mail. I'm finding that when colleagues send mail, their names are listed in the "from" column as Last Name, First. However, my name appears to others as First Name Last (no comma). How do I correct this?
I send mail through an exchange server, if that helps.

Have you tried Mail Preferences?
Go to Preferences (under Mail menu) and select accounts. Then click on the account in question. Enter your name as you wish it to appear at the "Full Name" label.

Sort Address Book search dialog box by last name, first name

When I am entering an email, and I click on the To: field to bring up the Address Book dialog box, by default the names are ordered according to the
Name field in First Name, Last name format.
Is there any way to have this column display the names in Last Name, First Name format?

Is there any way to have this column display the names in Last Name, First Name format?
The only way would be to change the display order of the AB to use <FileAs> which in turn requires that the default order for the <FileAs> field is configured to be <Last, First>.
Way to change the AB display order is by going into Account Settings (you don't mention which version of Outlook is in use) or with Outlook closed, use the Control Panel <Mail> app to open the profile
- click on the <AddressBooks> tab
- highlight Outlook AddressBook
- click <Change> and select the appropriate <Show Names> option
Note: if your current default FileAs setting is not configured to be <Last, First> - you will need to <bulk> change all existing contact items since any change to the FileAs default setting only applies to newly created contacts.

Completely support!
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???
Best Regards,
Vladimir.

Birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

Curiously, the most recently inputted entries do sort properly, as do all company entries.
Does that mean "most recently inputted" AFTER you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
If that is true, it would mean that something about your existing records before the upgrade, for the records that are people contacts (with first and last names) instead of business contacts, do not agree with Snow Leopard and/or Snow Leopard's version of Address Book.
This may not be feasible, but if you exported the records with this problems and then imported them, maybe they will be re-inputted so that are properly sorted.
If you use Time Machine, maybe you can use the +flying through space+ interface to restore one of the records with this problem to see if the restore process makes the record sort properly.

How to display last name first and then first name last from one name column?

I am trying to write a code which will display the last Name first then second name at last. For example;
If the value of table column is: "John Decker Revora"
I want to display "Revora, John Decker".
I think I will first look for the gap in between the name and from last gap i will pick up the value and then concathenate with rest of the name.
If u have any advice please reply ASAP with some examples.
Thanks

You need to do this in the query, using the instr and substr functions. Search the documentation for info on these functions. As a startpoint, I'll copy here an example from Kevin Loney's Oracle 8i The Complete Reference that does the opposite... you can adjust this to your needs:
select Author, SUBSTR(Author, INSTR(Author,',')+2) | |' '| | SUBSTR(Author, INSTR(Author,',')-1) ByFirstName

Last Name First Record appear in destination schema

I have source schema like

</Employee>
<Employee>
<Name>Naresh_Kumar</Name>
<Country>Country_0</Country>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Name>Kapil_Kumar</Name>
<Country>Country_0</Country>
</Employee>
</ns0:EmployeeDetails>
the destination should be only the first last name record(the "_" is differenating last name in the name eleement )
Destination schema :
<Employee>
<Name>Naresh_Kumar/Name>
<Country>Country_0</Country>
</Employee>
the Naresh_Kumar is the first last name contains one record does not have last name and one more record is last record

Try this XSLT:

Imported contacts have last name/first name reversed

When I had my old Samsung dumb phone, I listed all my contacts by last name. (There was a single name field in the old phone, so I listed everybody as "Smith, Bob.") But when I had my contacts list imported into my new iphone 5c, it read all the last names as first names and vice versa. (It put "Smith," in the first name field and "Bob" in the last name field.) I know I can choose to sort contacts by last name or first name. But when I choose "Last, First" it lists all my contacts by first name. So now when I enter a new contact directly into the iphone, it's backwards from everything else.
What am I supposed to do here? Am I just supposed to keep entering contacts backwards for as long as I have this phone? Or is there some sort of app or setting to fix this?

Displaying by last name first screws up the middle name

Argh. Why couldn't I find any page to submit this as a clear, reproduceable bug?
If display is set to "First Last" then I see "First Middle Last" and that makes sense. If it's set to "Last, First" I see "Last, Middle First" which makes NO sense. Everybody (but Apple) knows that when you list people in an address book or phone book you list them "Last, First Middle."

I figured out the solution for this.. If a user doesn't record a 'recorded name' when configuring their Unity account.. they cannot be searched for by name in the directory.. So have any users that are reporting the issue with their account log into their personal unity settings and record their name.. You can tell be looking at their Unity account profile.. If the option to press the play button for Recoded Voice is grayed out, they have no recorded name.. Hope this helps!
