Phone shows duplicate and wrongly sorted contact e...

Question

Have synched my 6303 Classic with my contacts in Outlook 2003 SP3 on XP
Nokia communication centre (from PC suite 7.1.30.9) looks perfect - my contact list is fine and sorted by first name, last name
Unfortunately my phone is sorted last name, first name and (worse) is showing double entries thus

Can I change this on the phone?
P.S. I use subfolders within my Outlook contacts, and also copy the contents up to the top level as I also have a Palm which only looks at the top level. I had assumed this was the cause of the duplicate entries on my phone, but if this is the case how come communication centre gets it right?

Hi tolgan,
Atleast in S60 5th edition phones have the following options
In phone Contacts > Options > Settings > Contact to display
1) Phone memory
2) SIM memory
3) Service numbers
Check boxed will be there in front of all these options, you can select/deselect.  If you select both phone and sim memory, and if the same contacts are present on both these memories, it will duplicated on the Contacts of the phone, but an icon will be displayed before those contacts on the phone to show SIM contact/phone contact. If its a sim contact, an icon of SIM will be displayed before that SIM contact.
One way is to cumulate all those contacts either in Phone memory or in SIM memory and select only the required option where all the contacts are stored, its one time manual work but it will avoid some confusions.  Once you cumulate all the contacts in SIM memory, it would suggest you to copy those contacts to phone memory and select phone memory as your primary contact, so that those contacts can be backup-ed while backuping your phone using Content copier of Nokia PC Suite/Nokia OVI SUite, because as of now, Content copier will backup only phone memory alone, it wont backup SIM memory contacts.
