Organize the contacts in windows in alpha. Order

How organize my contacts in alphabetical order in Windows Contacts (to not export) I just want to be able to keep alpha. order?

It is my understanding of the default is to sort in alphabetical, but that may have changed.

Posted the following by Dave in another forum, I found: http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-mail/298521-alphabetize-contacts.html

In the Contacts folder:
Change the display «Détails»
Right-click in the 'Name' column header, click on "First name", and then click
on "Last Name."
Click on the title "Last Name" to sort by who, or click on "First Name"
header to sort by that.

In a window create a message:
Click on to:
Click in the column 'Name' position... it cycles through 4 different kinds

In the properties of the name of the Contact:
Click on the arrow pointing downwards at the end of the full name box

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • How can I organize my contacts in Windows Live Mail

    I am moving from XP Outlook Express for Windows 7 Windows Live Mail and I don't see any way to organize my contacts in different folders as I in OE. I have folders for different 'classes' of contacts - friends, parents, co-workers, etc. etc. When I send an email it almost always goes to a subset of one of these classes if I click on 'to', then select the analysis file it and drag the appropriate contacts "for", "cc" or "BCC". I need to see them all remind me which ones I want to sent to-I don't always have names at hand.

    It seems that with WLM I have to browse ALL my contacts of 200 or more for every email! As you can imagine, this makes it practically unusable WLM. I know that I can create groups, but it is to send a message to ALL members of a group. I rarely do.

    Please let me know if I'm wrong about this. If it's really as I've described, it appears as a problem and is being developed and there will be a solution in the coming months? If this isn't the case, I'll have to search for an another e-mail client.

    Start by creating a category in contacts in Windows Live Mail:

    1. Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the Contacts .
    2. Click the arrow next to new , and then select the category .
    3. Select the contacts for this category, and click Save .

    When you want to send a message:

    1. Opening of the Contacts .
    2. Click on the category.
    3. Hold down the CTRL key and click on who should receive the message.
    4. Right click on one of them, and then click Send Email .

    Original title: How can I export contacts from Windows Mail in a single folder. It seems that export all? Help!
    Trying to export contacts to a folder only in gmail, but cannot select one.

    Hello

    a. open Windows Contacts by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
    b. on the toolbar, click on export and then click on the CSV format.
    CSV (Comma Separated Values). It is a format of generic file used to export or import information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
    c. click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format and then click OK.
    d. when a message appears telling you that the contacts export process is complete, click OK and then click Close.

    Is there a way to organize bookmarks alphabetically in Safari, as there are in IE?

    From this point, Safari does not include this feature.  You can manually drag bookmarks autour.  There is a third party application that can do this, but I don't remember the name.  I fix mine more ofter used, from left to right.  This works better for me.  But I hope that someone will come up with the name of the application that can do it for you.

  • Flow 11: I want to download the installer of Windows 10 for my workflow

    My 11 flow HP crashed and does not start.

    I want to download the installer of Windows 10 in order to be able to boot and install from a USB key.

    Can I download it from the HP site?

    IAN-VANCOUVER

    Yes, both...

    How the MS download tool usually does is it checks that you have already installed when you run the download tool to make sure that you download the same version.

    But since you have to use another PC to download, just be sure that you download the SAME VERSION of Win10 you have on the PC.

    Good luck

  • In Fox 15.0, how do I easily put my favorites in alpha order, all I see in the help is too old?

    HE wants to help can be easily put in Favorites in alphabetical order. I have all the files, just a long list of bookmarks. I am a novice in computerese, so I need very simple step by step instructions.

    I looked at the help section for this problem, but I found it was for older versions of Firefox, a lot of threads that have been closed and the references to the addons that are no longer available. I have Firefox 15.0 at present. Have a PC, not Mac and have Vista as an operating system.

    Things will be easier to find if you create some folders to categorize.

    To sort by alphabetical name, open the Bookmarks window with "Show all bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu, in the toolbar, choose views > sort > sort by name, then A > Z for ascending or Z > A to order descending. You can also organize the bookmarks in the order you want by dragging and dropping them in this window.

  • Copy the Contacts from Vista to Windows 7 Contacts Possible?

    I have a new desktop under Windows 7 Home Premium. Before the death of my old desktop (Vista 32 Home Premium), I was able to copy my Contacts folder to a backup drive. Is Vista comes in contact with the same type of file as Windows 7 contacts? Is it possible to copy contacts from Vista to Windows 7 contacts folder? If this is not the case, how would I go about importing the contacts? Thank you!

    Hi Fallstar,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    You can import the information book or contact address of several formats used by other programs, convert them for use in this version of Windows and store them in your Contacts folder. You can also convert your contacts to other formats by exporting. Allows you to share them with people who use an earlier version of Windows or a different operating system.

  • with the update, my alphabetical order of the contact group got screwed up.  How can I get it organized again

    My iPhone has updated, then my alphabetical order of the contact group got all out or sequence and mixed up.

    How can I get it organized again?

    Hi, Dinyross.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that your contacts are not in alphabetical order.  Depending on whether you want to view by the first or last name, make sure that sort and order of two display show all first, last or last, first.

    Contacts settings

    Go to settings > Mail, Contacts, calendars, where you can:

    • Change the way contacts are sorted

    • Display contacts by first name or name

    • Change how long names are abbreviated in the lists

    • Choose to display favorite and recent contacts in the form of multitasking

    • Define a default account for new contacts

    • Set your My Info card

    • Set if the updates and new contacts are automatically derived from mail you receive
