Does anyone please know the answer to the following problem?
I have imported all my contacts from Microsoft Office using HTC Synch. When I go to the 'People' tab, all the contacts display as First Name then Surname .
eg John Smith
In Outlook they were displayed as Surname, First Name.
If I edit the individial contact, I can choose between displaying as
John Smith or
Smith, John
I want the Smith, John option for all my contacts. Is there any way I can get all of my contacts to display in this format without having to edit them all individually? I can find nothing in the User Guide that helps...

Same problem for me : a bit hard to find someone by the firstname ...
And I don't want to edit each of my contact.
I've searched the web for an app. which does it properly but didn't find anything...
Anybody here who got a solution ?
From looking around it seems Googles thinking on this is "Don't sort...search"
I guess I just need to get used to hitting the search key and finding my contact that way rather than scrolling through a list. I know it's faster, but my brain keeps telling me it's the long way round. Weird.
All my contacts are sorted as Surname, Name. I prefer Name, Surname, but don't see any option to set this.
How?
As far as I know there is no such option. I have contacts sorted as name,surname and I want it as surname, name. Maybe we can change our contacts.
When I edit my contacts I get the choice of displaying either name, surname or surname, name but I had to do each contact individually.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to change the name of a contact under their picture icon on the favorites page? Some names are too long and I like to shorten them. Have done this before but forgot. Dumb. Thanks.
Referring to contacts in the call log that do not have a picture assigned to them.
Is there meaning behind the background color of the default contact picture?
Thanks,
Rick
I have two accounts in the stock email app and I want the combined view to be the default but it keeps coming back to the main email account. How do you set it to default to combined view instead?
You need to use the email widget. There is a 1x1 icon and when you select it it will ask which accounts you want to use.
I see, it was a shortcut to create the icon for it. Thanks!
