Sort String When you use the addresses for printing labels or name tags, you can have them printing in Name order (sorted by the Name field) or by Sort String order (sorted by the Sort String field). The name you enter in the Name field is normally in first name - last name order (e.g. Maria Schmidt) and is often not the order in which you want to print labels. The Sort String field can be used to flip the name around so that the labels are printed in surname order. (Schmidt, Maria). When you click on the Help button in the Address window, it takes you to a different article, "Addresses" but that still explains Sort String 2. By default, the Sort String field is filled with the individual's name in surname, given names order. This field is used when you want to print address label reports that are sorted by surname.
