Ordering the 'Find Contacts' screen alphabetically
June 29, 2011, 03:47:36 pm
When I pull up a list of individuals as a result of a search they are not in alphabetical order.  I'm using 4.0.3 and another local organisation using 4.0.3 has an ordering option showing which allows them to order the contacts alphabetically (in the same way you can order groups in the Manage Groups screen by using the triangle icon).  This is not showing as an option for me on the Find Contacts search results.  Do I need to change a setting somewhere for it to appear, as it's obviously possible!

Thanks
Lindsey

There should be a little tiny arrow next to the name column of the results.   This is true on the demo site at: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org  If you click it, they should be sorted alphabetically.  This can be seen on the demo site.  Attached to this post is a screenshot (you can see it if you login).

If you are using 4.0.3 and still don't see it,  this may be a bug, try uprading to 4.0.4.  also maybe javascript is broken on your site, or your browser, or your install is misconfigured.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Thanks.  On our 4.0.3 site there is not even the word name above the names and no arrow (see attachment).  We'll try to upgrade to 4.0.4 and see if that sorts it out.
