Two sorted lists after adding a new contact

Question

I got a new N73 (actually by Softbank Japan 705NK, language set to English), synchronized it to Outlook, so I had a couple of contacts in the contact list of my phone. They were all correctly sorted.
When I now added new contacts to the phone (not via Outlook, but directly inside the phone), I got a second sorted contact list before the existing one, i.e. all new contacts are not automatically inserted into the existing list of contacts, but a second list of contacts (which is sorted again) is generated. So now I have two sorted lists followed by each other, first the contacts inserted via the phone, second the contacts synchronized via Outlook/Nokia PC Suite.
Did anyone experience this problem? How can I get one sorted list instead of two lists?

Answer 1

My thinking about deleting from the phone after synch-ing the contacts to Outlook was indeed that if you don't remove them, the synch won't see any reason to update them on the phone.
Your point about sync deleting them is a good one, which is one reason I thought you might have to remove all contacts from the phone before synching back.
Either way, I'd take a backup before you try anything
