I picked up a used P1i the other day, and after copying my contacts from the SIM to the phone I was able to sort them by first and last name. I did an upgrade to the latest firmware version with SEUS, and now I can't sort the contacts. I've tried doing two upgrades but still no luck (they stay sorted by last name first). Has anyone else had this issue? |

Welcome to Esato!
I assume you done it by the book? Meaning opening contacts -> More - Settings -> Sort by.

Yes. I even tried a 3rd party app (DreamConnect) and it wouldn't change the sort order either. |

What happens if you choose Sort by Last name first?

Nothing since that's how they're already sorted. |

weired! anyway, if i've had faced this i would've formatted the internal disk, which you'll find under service menu.
To get to service menu follow the sequence, where u means jog dial up a step and * means typing * from keypad.

caution: you'll loose anything and everything you have in phone memory after doin' this. so keep a backup if needed.

Have you checked to make sure the names in contacts are actually in seperate fields, ie first name only in that field and not the whole name? |

I did. And while some are and some aren't, that did not matter prior to the upgrade. Really, it didn't! All the contacts were sorted by first name before this happened. |

Try a master reset to shake thinks up.

I've already done three master resets, and two flashes of the firmware. |

I have given up on trying to get the P1i to sort the contacts correctly. Does anyone know of an external, PC based software that I can use to sort them, then maybe load them back into the P1i? FMA and Outlook don't seem to support doing that. |
