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 !!!

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 !!!!
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

How is my answer wrong? I didn't say you can't group the contacts, I was responding to the previous post about sorting by first name. Yeah, you're a genius! tongue.gif

well, i think the group thing might be the best choice so far. 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...

hi quick question regarding syncing the contacts from the Windows Address Book. I tried syncing my contacts with the Address Book, but noticed that the numbers / emails with custom labels are not synced in the vCard (which is expected since custom labels are more of a Mac thing).

Is there any workaround for this (PC user btw)? I have quite a few custom labels as I tag each and every one of my numbers with DiGi / Maxis / Celcom / Country labels (and some with the standard Home label).

It'd be great if we were able to at least sync it or back everything up somewhere.
