Sort by company then personal name

how do i have the contacts display company name instead of person's name, when there is a company listed
ie: displays APPLE, John Doe, instead of just John Doe

I supposed you could put the company name as the last name then put the last name in the middle name field.

IOS changes contact from sorted by company to first name when edit is hit

Can anyone tell me how to stop iOS from changing to sort by name when edit is hit?
Scenario: Contact has first name, last name and company. In OSX I hit edit and check the company box. The contact now sorts by company name. I then go into iOS to that same contact and hit edit and then done. The contact now sorts by name and there is no way to undo this that I can find in iOS. There is no company check box and iOS defaults to sort by name automatically. Which means that any information I edit on my iphone or ipad will get miscatagorized by simply tapping the edit key.
Help!!!

I would ask, why are you going into the same contact in iOS if you have already edited it in OS X? But then, I digress.
True, there is only two settings for sorting contacts in iOS, Last Name or First name. The same as display. When you have a name and Company, it will only sort by name.
You can provide feedback to Apple if you would like to see this feature change by going to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

ICloud has sorted my Contacts in Outlook by the Persons name rather than the entry in the "File As" box.

Is there a sort setting that I am missing?

OK,
Using the save as drop-down box I saved the file as the name then when I saved the file as the "Company Name, Person Name" the contact was re-sorted using the company name. But, what a pain in the a$$.

Contacts Display and Sort by Company Name

I have over 1000 contacts in Outlook which synced wonderfully with my new iPhone.
Alas, I need to lookup and sort by Company Name. This is a VERY standard method for contacts. The options presented by iphone are first and last name, sigh and tech support had no suggestions and the helpful tech support genttleman could find no 3rd party applications which could help.
Help!
I relly like my iPhone, but I need to be able to look up contacts and notes by company.
Thanks

I have noticed something useful when entering contacts directly into my iPhone. When entering a contact that I want shown in the list by the company name, I enter the company name first (without entering the "first name" and "last name") and save it. If you do it that way, the little square where the photo would be will change from the blank head to some buildings, and the contact will be listed by the company name. You can then go back and edit to add a first and last name and it will stay listed by company name.
However, if you enter the last name, first name, and company name all at the same time it will list the entry by the "last name" instead of by the company.
For example, if I want my son's doctor's office to display as "Arizona Pediatrics" instead of "Dr. John Smith" in the contact list, I would enter the Arizona Pediatrics first, save, and then go back in and add the Dr. John Smith in the last name, first name fields.
I need to check the manual to see if this is detailed, as I stumbled on it accidentaly, but it's pretty useful.

Looking for an app that will manage all my business contacts (5,000 ) by company and then by name

I'm looking for an app that will manage all my business contacts (5,000+). Want the app to categorize by company and then by name, kind of like an organization chart
Ex. Apple, Inc.
-John
-Sam
-Nicole
I just downloaded "FastContact" for free but its too slow while searching. After more research I saw "ABContacts" but don't want to pay $5 for something I may not be looking for.
Any suggestions?

The only thing available to you is the restrictiions section in settings. Due to sandboxing, apps cannot interoperate with other apps except for sending data files from one app to another if allowed. There is no app that will help you.

Change personal name to company name under the apps

Hi there,
I have sent requests to change my personal name to my company name many times but have not got any replies.
our ID Team is J4CBU8D5C6.
Could anyone here help, please ?
Thanks

As I stated in my question that I do not want 2 Apple accounts, I already have one with all my private information and it should be good enough regardless how many devices. I didn't tried the iCloud but I don't think I actually had it setup.

Sorting by artist, then name.

Is there any way to bypass iTunes's sorting of songs by album? I would very much like to sort my tracks alphabetically in order of artist, and then by name of the song.
For example:
Amorphouse - Sidestepper
Basement Jaxx - Oh My Gosh
Basement Jaxx - Red Alert
Radiohead - Up on the Ladder
I've only seen it able to be sorted either by song title in general (disregarding the artist) or sorting it by the artist.

iTunes doesn't provide a way of specifying two sort levels. Once you select a column such as artist, you have to accept the default after that.
You get some extra options in the album column. Clicking on album toggles between album, album by artist and album by year.
The nearest you can get is to use the browse window to selct an artist and then sort by track name within that.

How can I sort iCloud contacts by Business Name?

I'm trying to use my phone for business. How can I sort my phone contacts in iCloud by Business Name, not First/Last or Last/First. Their needs to be selections for the business user. More fields. I don't want to bastardize my contact list right from the start. Did I buy the wrong phone?

The best app out there (to sort by COMPANY NAME) that nobody knows of is called "EasyContacts". Be sure to search for it was written in the app store. It is money well spent. Every person I show this app to decides to buy it. I use Card Scan still to scan business cards and then export the contacts to Outlook. I then sync my iPhone via iTunes to read my Outlook contacts. PERFECTION!!

Sort by Company

I heard there is a after market program that will allow me to sort my contacts by company name. Does anyone know what that program is and how I can get it?

I do not know if you have resolved the matter, but I have found that on Mobile Me on the email contacts tab. It lists the contacts there. If you double click on the intended contact, the information can be modified. Under the company information, there is a check box. Once you check the check box, the company name goes to the top. After saving the modified information, it will list on your iPhone (and others in your Mobile Me) in alphabetical order.
To further help. The contacts are in the second column. The first column is groups. I have searched a long time to discover that there is a non-desrcript (and easily missed) + sign. If you click on that you can create groups. Especially helpful if there are several contacts with the same company. Using this way of searching makes the first option obsolete. Because sorting by the company me does just that. It just displays ABC Inc. Not ABC Inc Sally, ABC Ink John. If a group is made for that company then you could see.
Finally, when you have your various groups maybe: friends, club members, business, etc. If a contact belongs to more than one category, then you can drag & drop the contact from the ALL group, and instead of moving the contact, it copies all of the information into that group too.

Better Contacts Manager app, sort by company?

I am a sole proprietor (not needing a shared database) looking for a basic Contacts Manager app (for OSX primarily) that allows contacts to be organized by company. Also, for new contacts at any organization to be added without having to manually key in all common data for each new contact. (both the preceding are not features offered in current Apple Contacts) The ability to generate a CSV database is important.
Apple Contacts requires that all fields for new contacts be entered manually, no simple copy/paste feature for adding new contacts within the same company. Yes, I have found awkward work-arounds that don't really work. Most personal contact manager apps seem to be written for IOS and those for OSX are often complex & expensive (many require a monthly subscription). Many apps listed on review sites are no longer developed, or still in beta.
The desired features above would seem to be a no-brainer, but I have spent hours fruitlessly seeking a simple workable solution.
thanks in advance

Contacts will sort by company if the Company checkbox is checked in the card.
To add multiple contacts to the same company I just duplicate a card from the company and edit the name, telephone number and email as needed.
To get just the companies to display create a Group, Businesses or Companies, and add all company cards to it. Click on the group and you have only the cards you want.

ITunes 11 - How do you Sort by Genre then Artist? Other General Customizations

Hello,
Maybe somebody else knows how to do this, if so please post it. I am really disappointed in iTunes ever since version 10 I think, where they majorly revamped the whole look for it. No, I am not one of those people who are opposed to change and are slow to adapt when changes are made to applications either. I just feel these new changes majorly suck.
So I am using version 11, the latest one. Apple has made it so uncustomizable that it is ridiculous. Correct me if I am wrong in saying this, that you can’t do any of this stuff anymore. When I open iTunes I like to be able to select Genres and then have the music within the Genre sorted by artist. I don’t see how you can do this anymore. Now when you click on Genre there is no longer an option to sort anything. Everything is sorted by CD Name and you aren’t allowed to sort it any other way. Seriously, who really knows the name of every CD they own, especially when you have several 100 CDs?
So if I want to view my music by artist I have to select Artists, which that lists all artists (regardless of genre). I hate this because then it is harder to find the exact artist you are looking for because the list is that much longer and you are scrolling through a ton more artists just to get to the one you are looking for. Yes, I already know there is a search library feature. I also like viewing the artist by Genre because it is easier to determine if the newly added CD was placed in the correct Genre. I know some people just add music and don’t care where it is placed or how it is organized, but I like to keep it all organized. I even have it organized on my computer by folders Genres, folders Artists, and then folders CDs.
This is the same for viewing your Playlists. You used to be able to select your playlists and then view a specific genre within that playlist. From there I could sort the playlist however I wanted, like by artists, and then CD. I have several playlists that have more than one genre in it. With this new version you can’t view your playlist by genre, you can only view all of the songs within the playlist.
I also liked in the old version how you could view the number of songs in each genre. Well, you can still do this once you click on the genre, but there isn’t an overview anymore. Like in the old version it would list all the genres and then in a caption underneath each genre it would show how many songs and different artists are in each genre. There was no need to go into each individual genre to view this information. You could also view the number of songs in each genre within each playlist as well. The playlist thing has been removed altogether. Now you can only view how many songs are in the playlist, regardless of genre.
The new version does have a few tiny benefits, like easily being able to see what playlist(s) a particular song is in by right clicking on a song and then selecting Show in Playlists. I however, don’t feel the tiny tweaks outweigh the view customizable benefits of previous versions. These new tweaks could have easily been added to the older versions without disabling the customizable view settings.

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

ITunes 11 [Songs view] - Sort on artist, then year

I just downloaded iTunes 11 and there seem to be some features missing compared to iTunes 10. One of the most important issues is that in the "Songs" view, I cannot seem to sort on (1) Artist and (2) Album year. It seems that iTunes is automatically sorting as (1) Artist, (2) Album name alphabetically. For example, for Norah Jones, first the album Little Broken Hearts (2012) is displayed, and after that the album Not Too Late (2007). Does anyone know if this can still be done in iTunes 11 or is the feature missing completely? Interestingly enough, in the "Albums" view, there is an option to sort by Artist, then Year (view --> view options).
Another issue, which I believe has been adressed in other topics as well, is the complete missing of albumart in the "Songs" view. Consequently, this was also the place in iTunes 10 where you could choose to sort on Arist/Year. I really hope that Apple puts this feature back in iTunes 11 as soon as possible.

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing. Just downloaded iTunes 11 and now I can't sort albums by year in the "Artists" view. I used to prefix all my album mp3 tag names with the year number to work around this, but removed it when Apple added the Artist/Year sort. Now it's gone. Yay!
A note: you can use the free mp3tag.de software to insert your year tag into your album titles using regular expressions. If there doesn't seem to be any obvious solution to sorting by Artist/Album/Year in the next couple days, then I'll post here with some tips if anyone is interested.

Sorting by "x" then by "y" my table (multiple criterias ascending and descending)

Hi,
I converted some text to a table using this:
function ConvertoTable(){
var myStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
var myTexts = myStory.texts[0];
//We now can convert that "texts" object to a table:
//Both arguments are separated by a "comma"
myTexts.convertToTable("\t","\r");}
I will always have the same kind of data with 3 columns, one with a mark/value, then a name, then a description.
I need to sort my table first by the first column in descending order (99 to 90) and then by name in ascending order(A to Z).
I will then export this table once it's sorted again as a text but it's an another story .
I know that you can do it through Indesign but I would want to automate it. My javascript is really rusted and I've just started to play with the greps and the scripts within Indesign...so I was hoping someone could help me to achieve that?
Thanks guys,
Michael A.

@Feeltheday – sorting tables is not that funny ;-)
Hm. Too lazy? Just a suggestion…
As a starting point look into the following blog posts and scripts:

In CloverETL the Text Enrichment component not recognizing Indian Person Names

Im using OEID Integrator ETL3.1.1.
The component Text Enrichment is not recognizing Indian Person Names. Is there any lib files which needed to be added in Lexalytics?
Please suggest.

Holy S H ! T, I thought this was only me!
SEVEN Months, and Apple has NOT addressed your issue.
I was gonna say "I miss Steve", then I remembered he didn't answer user concerns either...
