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.
Here's a couple of links on your question.

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!

Pocket Informant contact grouping

Hi, i've been using pocket informant for quite sometime and love it.
however, i don't see any option to group contacts such as friends, family, work etc, like we have in even primitive nokia phones.
am i missing some setting or is there any other way to do it?
does pocket informant support this by any chance? it would be very useful in sending mass messages etc.
would appreciate any help
thanx
I'm using a Beta of PI but this is how I can group contacts:
Menu > Show Contact > Per Company
Mine is in Dutch so it might not be the correct translation
Contact Group

The answer is Yes.
Pocket Informant support grouping in contact.
Every time you insert new contact it should also ask (in detail) for group and also support grouping already exist in outlook (PC and PPC).
Try to search the option.

Just a suggestion, but did you know that WebIS has their own forum for PI? It is located here. You MIGHT want to register there, and drop a message in their forum. They seem pretty active in sorting out users' questions.
Good luck,

The easiest way in WM to do this is assign a category for each contact (i.e. business, personal etc.). In PI, you can hit Menu, Category Filter, and choose only the filters you want to see at the time.

is there a program to alllow you to make groups on the htc wizard

as title says.. is there a program that allows you to make groups and put contacts in that group on the htc wizard..
the built-in contacts already have categories included... just choose 'filter' from menu...
and other tools also can handle them (pocketcm, groupsms etc)
but i want it to show in the contact list.. it doesnt.. i want it to be like the blackberry pearl has it..
anybody know

Additional Phonebook

Hi,
my Sister has the HTC Diamond, and since she has her own Business she wanted me to ask if there was any Way to have a 2nd Phonebook, or Contactlist?
She basically wants to seperate her personal Contacts from her Business Contacts.
Or are there any Settings to sort the Contacts by Groups?
Thanks for any Help, Answers, Solutions.
There's a Filter By option which will allow you to filter your contacts by various categories. You just need to assign the contacts to individual categories for it to work as desired.
When you do a Filter By, it will retain your last selection, so if you Filter By business (or something), it will remain filtered by business until you change it. Not sure if a SR will change it back.

HOw does she assign the different Groups?
DOes she do that by editing each Contact or does she select a Group somewhere and sets a checkmark in front of the Contacts she wants in the Category?
Thanks for any Answers

Will that work with no Problems without changing Registry?
Cuz she dont wanna go to deep into her Diamond due to the Fact that she might send it in soon anyways due to high Tempratures by Use and Charge (which is normal for the Diamond but not understandable for my SiS)
she can use outlook for editing the contacts with multiplce categories even pictures and just sync everything over ActiveSync/WMDC

Haven't played with iContact, I ended up doing mine by editing each contact and placing them in the desired group.
Icontacts is very helpful for what you want. You can have as many list as you want.
In the first you can write names for your busines ,in the second your personal, in third all. More info, links and a skin i made , here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3261708#post3261708

Stop Facebook auto photo saved in HTC Sense 2.5

Reason: (if you really want to know)
I really like the facebook and sense's people integrated feature. It helps me update birthday, phones, and my friends recent news. However, I do have most of my friend's photo on my outlook. I really don't need to save 200 extra pictures in my windows' drive. Beside, sometime my friend's profile picture are kind of random.
Help needed:
Any one know how to stop the photo update from facebook to the people contacts? A reg. tweak or something? Or just a want to select multiple contacts to use outlook picture? In sense 2.1, after the facebook linked your friends, a window pop up and you can uncheck the saved photo box, then facebook would not overide the saved picture you have. But this feature seem to be missing on 2.5.
facebook picture
you can override the facebook picture in sense 2.5 edit the contact then click the picture and choose, facebook, or outlook contact.
Thanks but I have more than 160 friends
Thanks for you suggestion, but you know I have more than 160 friends to update. And if I have to do that every time I upgrade a room. I am doom.
please someone help
Double this request! I was about to open a thread in despair...
I have 20 FB-connected contacts. Not a big deal one would say - change them manually. But if one takes into account that i flash almost every other day (yes i like to play with builds and upgrades) and everytime i have to go through this 20 pics... Ahhhh!!!
Getting mad everytime this stupid manila feature replaces neatly prepared and assigned photos of outllook by it's tiny meaningless photos (in some cases just mess-up madness!)
Please, please help us to stop facebook messing up with contacts
