windows mail contacts problem

[jdr37]

When I first loaded my contacts in Windows Mail on my new Vista system they would be listed A - Z by contact first name when I clicked the "To" button on the "Creat Mail" window. Now they are listed A - Z by address. How can I get the "To" listing back to first name listing.

Yours is an easy question to answer (and to fix). Just do the following:

1. Open Windows Mail
2. Open "Contacts"
3. Right above your first contact are colums including "name, email address" and others.
4. Click on "name" and it will sort by name A-Z or Z-A just like you once had it. If it sorts Z-A, just click on "name" again and it will sort them A-Z like you want.

Now that you have it correct, don't click on those columns again.

Doesn't work! The listing in the contacts "name" colunm are A - Z alpha, but when the "To" button is clicked the list comes up Alpha by address.
