Addressbook - Sorting

[rob_figlabs]

I'm not optimistic given what I've read while googling and searching these forums, but has anyone managed to get any kind of sorting working in the built in Sharp Addressbook? My Trisoft manual suggests that if you press the ABC tab then the data will get sorted, but this doesn't work for me. Has anyone tried installing the addressbook from the 6000?

I was considering writing a script to use dtm2xml to export the data, sort it, then re-import it. Anyone tried that before?

Hi rob_figlabs,

Not sure if it's the same problem but check out this thread Sorting problem in AddressBook on 3k where you can find the file addressbook.so I provided from my 6k and apparently it solved the sorting problem.

Hope it works

Interesting,
I'd tried the addressbook.so that came from your 6000 (thanks for posting it BTW). After a reboot this made the tabs appear in English, all nicely spaced and with a wide search area. However, the sorting wasn't working.

I just tried the files posted on Shirtpocket's web site. First I installed liben.so.1.1.0 and rebooted. On it's own this made no difference. I then replaced your addressbook.so with theirs (which is 632 bytes bigger). After a reboot, the tabs are in English, but huddled very close together in the centre of the screen, and the search bar is laughably small. Having said all this, sorting now works!

Anyone out there have any luck with the addressbook.so that came from scheck.r 's machine? Anyone know where the Shirtpocket files came from?

Thanks!
