I really did search the forum...  I can sort my contacts by last name, but when I want to print a contacts report, they print sorted by first name. It's probably something simple I overlooked...

Ernest,

When you press the report button in Contacts, it runs script "     (0790) CON_View Contact List" which is what generates your print form. This script has a sort in it, on line 9, that is overwriting any sort you do previously. If you want to have the report sort by last name, follow the instructions below:

1.)  Open your script workspace (Scripts --> Script Workspace)

2.)  Select the script (CONTACTS (600-849) --> CON_Reporting -->      (0790) CON_View Contact List)

3.)  Select line 9

4.)  Click the Gear icon on the right side of the line, just after the text

5.)  Select "Specify" from the popover

6.)  On the right side, click "Name_Full" and then click the button in the middle marked "Clear"

7.)  On the left side, find "Name_Last" and then click the button in the middle marked "Move" 

 

That's it! You should be good to go!

Thanks,

Jonathan Hogle
