Mac Forum / Applications / Entourage / October 2006sorting in entourage
When I had Outlook, I could sort contacts in 3 tiers. I mainly sorted entries by creating a category in 'company', like 'Website' or 'Personal' or 'Lawyers." Then I gave every contact a name under 'file as' and let that second-order-sort alphabetically. Accordingly, if I wanted to find a friend under the company name 'Personal,' the friend would be listed alphabetically. Piece of cake. Under Entourage, this doesn't seem possible. I can sort under company, but that's the end of it. If I want to find that friend under 'Personal,' I have to scan all the contacts in that 'company.' I emailed a Microsoft advisor, and that person agreed there was no second-order sort possible, let alone a third-order. I find it hard (but not impossible) to believe that's the case. Anybody know better? ingrid wiegand On 10/28/06 7:41 PM, in article 1162089671.217955.256190@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com, > When I had Outlook, I could sort contacts in 3 tiers.

Anybody know better? > ingrid wiegand In the upper right side of the contacts window there is a popup with "Name contains". Change this to "Category is" and select category you wish. Click on the column heading (Name, Nickname etc...) to sort further. You can add or delete columns under View in the menu bar. Select Columns and make your changes there. A little background on how names are alphabetized. The Address Book displays the names as FirstName LastName, but they are sorted in alphabetical order by LAST name, not first name. Click on the Name column and you'll see for yourself.
