I've a problem that under certain aspect is idiot but I need to sort my contacts under Surname order.
On other devices, I've found the solution, under the contacts options, there where the possibility to change it.
On Experia ArcS no!
Someone else has find a solution or know something to solve it?
Thnks a lot
*ADDENDUM*
I've found Komodo Contact Manager that give me the possibility to change the sort order BUT not the display.
Infact, the contact list is diplayed as Name, Surname and not like I'm trying to do: Surname, Name.

Just trying to figure out how i am able to send a text message to all the numbers in my phone without having to select the 200+ contacts individually...
Can anyone help me out here? Does the 8525 even offer an option like that?
Please help
Thanks
hey that s called spam!
i m not sure but maybe you can create a group (like you do on outlook) and send the sms to that...
lol
well im in the promoting business and the majority of my contacts are those who attend my events.
Im not trying to go through outlook. I know in several other phones it gave you the option of selecting all or at least going through your contacts and checking all those you would want to send the text to. On this phone i cant seem to find any feature like that. I have to individually add EVERYSINGLE contact going from text to contacts list to text to contacts list. Its pretty ridiculous.
If anyone knows of how to select or send to all, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

I would like to have my Contacts ordered by Last Name. From the Contact manager it's possible to change Display Name from "Firstname Lastname" to "Lastname, Firstname". That is exactly what I'm looking for. But to do so I should do it with each Contact separately! Crazy job for more then 600 contacts.
I was told that RCMixHD or AuraxTSenseHD have this issue fixed. I don't know how,but I think there is posibility to change Display Name for all Contacts.
I wondering if anyone could help me and create fix just to go through whole Contact database to change Display Name to Lastname, Firstname order?
On DeFrost I choose menu.. display options..and change "view contact name as". Sort by is here too
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Please do not make new threads in development for questions.
What is DeFrost? Is it something from new (developers) ROMs? I was not clear - I would like to stay on official 2.2. Is it possible to run DeFrost or something similar on official ROM?
added in few hours
Well, I've found that DeFrost is quite famous ROM here with different Contact Manager. Does anyone know, if it's possible to use part of the code to solve my problem (change display name to Lastname, Firstname for all contacts?)
anyone any idea how to make the Motoblur contact names the ones that appear by default.
I uploaded a .vcf from my old Sony Ericsson with all the proper names to motoblur, then linked certain contacts with the twitter built in thing.
So if the name was Marc in the phonebook, now it takes the twitter name of marco1999
The Contacts app makes the right choices most of the time, but it also has a mind of it's own in how it decides what to name the resulting linked contacts. All things being equal, the currently viewed contact is being linked to another contact and it assumes that contact's name. Simple enough, unless the linked to contact does not have an email, or web site URLs, AND the viewed contact does, in which case the resulting contact will assume the name of the currently viewed contact (the one that's being linked to the other contact).
I got my contacts linked from 7 different places, and some of the contacts would have just a phone #, some just a website URL, and so on. The only way to reign in the order (names) I wanted that I resorted to was to keep unlinking, then renaming some contacts and then re-linking them back again. It took some manual work, but not as much as I feared, and maybe there's a simpler way, but this is what worked for me.
Good luck.
thanks for that, unfortunately, no matter what I do, it always takes the twitter name for profiles. I think maybe it's because Twitter is the picture source for contacts. I tried adding a picture to the phone contact, but the twitter name still overrides it.
In contact edit, there's even a nickname function - I hoped this would take precedence over everything, but unfortunately not!
I had asked this back in December in the general section, but I think this is where I should be asking this question. I was wondering if there is a way to edit all of the contact information similar to what is seen in the Gmail web interface? I have looked around, but haven't found anything. I know what comes standard, but is there an app that will plug into the Gmail interface directly so we can customize the labels of the numbers and address, or modify prefix/suffix information? If there isn't, would this be feasible to program, or is there no way to access the Google contacts in that way? I search the forums, but I didn't see much about contact editing.
Thank you, and have a great day!
Hello,
First, I hope you are all in good health.
On Android devices most of the time the default is contact firstname sorting. But for more than 20 years I'm used to sort my contacts by name. It was possible to modify this parameter in the contact app. But since I have my Note10+ - or maybe Android 10 - I cannot find anymore the contat name sorting option. Have you noticed this regression ? Have you found a solution to sort contacts by names ?
Many thanks for your help.
