Hi Courtney - Thanks for replying but this isn't working - I have clicked and clicked MANY times on the faint arrow and it just keeps jumping between 2 of the names I have in my address book and none of them are in alphabetical order at all now. Thanks anyway for trying to help - anyone else like to take a stab at this?

Well, that's a puzzle isn't it ? Try - in the email program, go to Tools, Address Book Go to View, then click "Details" Then go to View, Sort By Mine has Name, Last Name, and Ascending checked Courtney ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jessie Newlands" <newlands@telus.net> > Hi Courtney - Thanks for replying but this isn't working - I have clicked > and clicked MANY times on the faint arrow and it just keeps jumping > between 2 of the names I have in my address book and none of them are in > alphabetical order at all now.

Courtneyu: Don't know what time you sent this (it has just come in here) but I got it sorted out a while ago -it was what you suggested and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much for your help.
