Change to Firstname, Lastname in Contacts?

Anyone know can I change it so that it sorts by Firstname instead of Lastname in the Phone Contacts?
Its super annoying.

This question should be sticky, the number of times it gets asked!

I found a small freeware application that will help you. in my pda2k I should to select all the contacts tap and you'll see in the expanded menu the option FileAsf this will change from last, first to first, last

And I just looked at the WM5 Emulator..............they haven't given us the option to display First Last.

Categories drop down missing in contacts

This is probably more of a WM5 problem, but I thought I would ask
Pre WM5 in contacts just under the title bar there was a drop-down box for the category filter and an edit box to the right for "find a name". In WM5 there is only an edit window "Enter a name or number...."
Is there anyway to get the categories drop-down back? I made heavy use of this feature before.

Chome Config: custom Chome or Cmessage

i was wondering if there is a list of urls/launchers that i could use to make my own pages / panels in CHome. I dont mean launchers for programs I put on my phone, those are easy enough. I mean launchers / urls for stuff that are a part of the OS. Links like msprofiles; mssettings; etc. To be specific i want to make pages for text msg, emails, missed calls, call history. pretty much almost the same stuff that are in CHome & CMessage panels. Obviously those panels are nor editable, so i can not go into them and look at the links like i can with CSettings.
For starters, i want to make pages for Text Messaging, specific email accounts. i am able to make page for 'messaging' in general which leads to those but i want to pages for each, just like in CMessage & Chome. Also want missed calls, voicemail. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

bump. can someone help?

Select - delete all sms by drag down?

Hello
On my qtek 9000 and on my HTC PRO i was able to drag down my stylus, starting with the first msg i want to delete and highlighting all the messages as i drag downwards. Then click "delete" and delete all sms at once
In my HTC PRO2, there is no option to select all messages by drag down
only 1 message can be selected at once.
I noticed this behavior also in some HTC PRO ROMS, so i suppose there must be a registry value that allows or disallows selecting all sms at once by draging down
Is anyone aware of this?
I will appreciate any help, since i need to delete about 500 sms every day
Thank you

Best way is to slide the device open, hold the CTRL key down, and click each message you wish to delete.
Laborious I know

go to:
inbox / menu / select messages / all or all below or various
just translated from german menu, options could be named a little bit different

No, that's pretty darned accurate!! Mine is UK Vodafone version and says All/ All below/ several when you choose Select Messages from Menu. Easy peasy

Thanks
I know that
I also have found InboxExtender.CAB helps a lot (Deletes all messages with one click)
But why is scroll down selection disabled in some ROMS?
Can you select and highlight messages by scroll- drug down?

It's so that you can actually scroll with your fingers. For how much I scroll through messages and how little I select multiple messages, I'm happy. But, you can't please everyone.

Contact ringtone

Being used to Samsung.... Is it possible to set a ringtone per contact? I can't seem to find this option.

Yeah click your contact, hit the edit button (the little pencil). Then once in the edit screen, hit the 3 dots in the corner > Set Ringtone

Awesome, I was looking at the wrong 3 dot menu. thanks much!
