Any way to sort contacts by first name?

I've got myself a new Vario, but I can't seem to get the contacts to sort by first name - is there any way to do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question! I've been mucking about with it for ages!
Many thanks

Zakkz,
Welcome to the forum :wink:. Please read this introduction.

yes it is possible,
even different ways to get this:
you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828
you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"
yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!
and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...
CIAO!

JAJAH integration?

Hi,
is there any direct integration between contacts and Jajah.
I just found this great application http://www.bbcalls.com/ but it is only for Blackberry. Has anyone seen somethign similiar for my XDA?
The jajah mobile (http://www.jajah.com/mini) interface is also not very useful on a XDA, since the contacts won't display (at least not with Opera 8.6)
Any good applications or plugins that make Jajah more useful?

Contatcs category

If I close Contacts application with Filter by one Category, when I open it again, it shows my all contacts, is it possible to do that when you open Contacts application it shows contacts filtered by one category?
Thank you.

Not possible, as far as I know.
Use iContact instead, it allows you to start in Favourites view and the Favourites category is definable.
I'm using iContact BE 6.4.5 with the Lycox Diamond skin.

Can I use icontact with TouchFlo 3D?
Where can i get it?

Can I synchronize it with Outlook in my PC?

I have installed it and it is Ok.
I see that it substitute Contacts and so, forget my question about synchronization.
Is it no possible to close it? (it remains active and you have to close it trought Task manager, is it?)
Thank you.

How do you defined the Favourite category?
In Favourite you have the contacts that you add to favourites by pressing the star, but can you asign categories in Outlook and fix one of this categories (family, for exemple) as Favourite?
Thank you

These things are configurable through iContact config.
To get it working properly with TF3D you may have to use a TF3D editor.

Thank you.
All my problems was that iContact config did not appear on my PDA settings. But I have found it in iContact carper an run it directly and, now, it seems to work well.

Touch Pro 2 - contact view by company

Morning,
anybody knows who i can see my contacts by company (apparently under view i can not program the sofware)?

Not possible in regular contacts if I'm right.
Download an alternative contact manager
(EDIT, I'm not sure though)

I really hope that is not true. I love till now everything on the Touch PRo 2 but for the biz device i need company view on contacts.

It works exactly as on previous WM 6.1 machines. Not available under the TouchFlo People app, but go to All Programs, Launch the WM 6.1 Contacts app and then just use the View By Company option as usual

So why is there an option named "Company Directory" on the HTC Contact Manager ? It's grayed out and I don't know how to enable it.

That one is for searching contacts in the GAL (Global Address List) or Company Directory as Contacts tab is saying.
You will have such a list available if you sync your mailbox with an Exchange server.
I'm using myself this...
all the best

Hi - I am on a Verizon TP2 and I am connected to my work Exchange server as you are, but when I pull up a company directory contact (via the TouchFlo UI...Phone>Contacts>Menu>Company Directory) and select "Call Home/Work", it switches to the phone app but doesn't dial. If I use the Company Directory button that appears after pressing "*" on the phone keypad, it switches to the WM UI and it works. Any suggestions on how to get the TF UI to work? Maybe there is a registry setting that Verizon forgot to set?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if it is possible to make the WM6.1 Contacts app activate from the Touchflo contacts tab instead of the People app?

Touchflo like contacts application

is a stand alone application anywhere?
