O.P. Alphabetical Sorting
I'm using the brilliant custom names option in Messenger Plus, however
I dont seem to be able to get them to display in alphabetical order!  They are still in the original order to that of the users original name.  Any chance this is fixable cause its messed up my contacts!

Thanks

Paul.

RE: Alphabetical Sorting
Hello! :)

Using the custom names feature enables MSN Messenger's sort by email address.

MsgPlus! does not sort your contacts, it just uses MSN Messenger's sorting options.

Thus, this is not really a bug. It's a limitation.

RE: Alphabetical Sorting
When you use custom names, Messenger Plus! replaces contacts' email addresses with the names you chose. It uses email addesses for this because they do not change (unlike screen names). As a result your list is sorted by email address now; this cannot be changed. The alphabetical sorting option has been suggested before, but it's not so easy to do so and has therefore not been done yet :)

Well perhaps it can be added sometime, because (for me) it would be so useful as I organise my contacts firstly by job description, then location then name.

Oh well :)
