• Cannot organize Windows Contacts by last name

  When I open Windows Contacts, the contacts are all sorted by first name (the full name, in fact).  Is it possible to sort/organize the list of contacts by last name?  This is how most people organize their address books.

  Not with Windows Contacts, the feature set is not very good.  Best thing to do is to Download Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail replacement, allowing you to sort by last name, in addition it is secured for contacts, in general, is much more functional.

• I want to sort my contacts by last name in Windows Mail. How can I do this?

  original title: sorting of e-mail contacts

  I seem to have a default setting that sorts my contacts by 'Name' now.  I can't turn it off and sort by "Last Name" I was doing?  I recently changed phones and synced the phone with an online database, but do not think it would affect Windows Mail.

  Simply click on the column heading to sort by that column.  Clicking once sorts ascending and click twice to sort descending.  If you do not have the name column, then right-click on the column heading and choose more and select the family as a column name.

• Possible to view contacts by last name?

  Hello, I am just a BPA or it is not possible to establish contacts to display to the normal natural family first name format?... I managed to be sorted by family name, but it's total chaos because the name appears as the second which makes no sense to me...

  Type 3 points, select filter and sort through everything that you need.

• My Windows Live Mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.  How to load the list of contacts to organize all contacts, including contacts, in alphabetical order by family name?

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

  It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

  • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
  • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
  • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

  Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

  Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

  1. Nickname
  2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
  3. First name or last name
  4. Company
  5. E-mail address
  As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
  • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
  • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
  • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
  • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
  • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
  • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

  Hi Theodore,

  You can try the following steps and check.

  Right-click on the column header bar and select 'more' and check the option ' name'. The column is displayed. You can drag it where you want and sort upwards or downwards by clicking on the header.

  Alternatively, you can try the following steps.

  a. right click on the Contacts folder.

  b. change the display «Détails»

  c. right-click on the 'name' column header, click on "First name", then click on 'Last Name'

  d. click the title "Last Name" to sort by there.

• E-mail address is associated with a name, but is not in the Windows Contacts

  How to remove an email address that appears with a Contact name, but is not in the Windows Contacts?

  How to remove an email address that appears with a Contact name, but is not in the Windows Contacts?

  It's called "AutoComplete".
  Windows Mail remembers the LAST 29 names that you used for emailing.
  Next time when you type, say, B in the column to, Windows Mail the research paper and displays a list of names began with the letter B. The list may include names not in your contact list, but you sent e-mail to the names.
  That must be the reason why you saw an address that was not in your contacts list. You have sent an email to this address.
  Remember, Windows Mail keeps only the last 29 names. So finally the 'undesirables' addresses will be gradually.

  If you want to delete ALL AutoComplete entries, here is a link to simple instruction:
  Note: scroll down to deleting all entries by semi-automatic email and follow the instructions there.

• contacts first name last name live mail

  I use Windows Live Mail on Windows 7. When I enter a new contact, he invites me to enter in the "first name" and "last name". I'm doing this, but when I use the contact in a new e-mail message, it always displays the contact as "LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME. I can outsmart him by reversing my entry to the first name in 'last name' and the name 'first name', but it's crazy to do.

  In addition to say Ron, for future information, Windows Live Mail doesn't not part of Windows, it is a part of Windows Live Essentials. (Yes I know the name of this forum is confusing!)

  To sort by first name:
  View > Show name as: "first of all, the last

  To sort by last name:
  View > Show name as: ' last, first

  View > sort by > name and order growing

  In your case, affect the 'Show name for what is' first of all, the last
