Orderfield was created by Jfranck
At the contact there is an option to fill in 3 sortfields.
However at the menu i cannot choose witch sortfield it has to use.

Kind regards

Hello,

contact sort fields are used to sort contacts in a specific way:
first, sort field 1 of all contacts is tested when ordering contacts. When contacts have the same sort field 1, then the sort field 2 is tested and so on.

Therefore, for best results, the contact sort field 1 should be the last name of the contact, the contact sort field 2 should be the first name...

That is why you cannot choose which sort field to use because they are all used if non empty.

Olivier.

Ok, since you can sort on name also i thought sortfields could be used for special ordering
So i typed numbers, in sortfield 1 that works fine.

Thanks anyway!

Sort fields can contain any kind of information, but you can only sort by name OR sort field, not both.

If you want to sort by name first then by a second sort field, the name must be added to the first sort field, then whatever other info you need in sort field 2.
