Hi Bill,

When I had this problem I finally found that from time to time I had switched entering the names from First name first to last with the result that when I sorted them they were all over the place and re sorting then Last name first just reversed the probble. To fix this I had to reverse the individual names so they were all the same entry set up.

I am trying to add a new email address to my address book and using
"add sender....." does not work.


The main address book itself is scrambled and I would prefer
alphabetical - that must be simple but its eluding me!

Hi Bill, I noticed my address book looked scrambled too. I went to
preferences and check 'last name before first name', and it is now in
alphabetical order. So that's a possibility to try. The default was
'first name before last'.

From Mail, I just added your address to my address book by right
clicking on your email address in your email, and clicking 'add to
address book'.

I'm using 10.5.7

What steps were you using?



Hi Susan,


Using 10.5.6........

I have managed to cull a lot of unwanted email addresses by using "Previous reciepients" under WINDOW in Mail. Then added the wanteds to Address Book.

However, sorting the address book doesn't do what you say............. its AddressBook.app Ver 4.1. It makes no diff. whether I check first or last, there's no sorting happening either way.
