Friends,

We'd like to change the view arrangement of contacts as listed in find; ie, would prefer to have, effectively, 'ORDER by <custom data field>' - while making 2 or 3 of these custom data fields the first fields in the display.

Better, we'd like to have the contacts list open, by default, populated with different sets of contacts and views depending on the user.

What is the best way - architecturally - to approach this?   Tks.
