Does any one know how to sort our contacts by Company then First/last name? Do we need a 3rd party program? There's no such setting under Settings>Phone>Sort By. It is so difficult for me to find my working contacts !!!

It is so difficult for me to find my working contacts !!! Basically, the contact will be sort through the last name and not first name. When you add more contact it will be sorted automatically alphabetically from A-Z and u can use ur hand to scroll the contact. I don't think that have any 3rd party program released yet for now.

Actually you can sort by first name. Go to Settings, Phone, you'll see "Sort Order" and "Display Order". Set it to use first name.

Wrong Answer!!QUOTE Actually you can sort by first name.
Go to Settings, Phone, you'll see "Sort Order" and "Display Order". Set it to use first name. Wrong Answer !!!!Actually you can set a group for each contact. So that they will show in a separate list at your iphone. eg: Work Contact Group-->contact list Relative-->contact list Girl Friend-->Contact list Friend-->Contact list so like this you got 4 contact group This post has been edited by SEP910: Apr 1 2008, 09:00 AM

Actually when im using a pda wm6, they actually display the company name n person name together in the scroll list. So now, i hv dozen of mr.lim, mr.wong, mr.tan in my contact. Zzz...
