Can you expand the Contacts List to include Title and Department and change name order?
I was wondering if there was a way to expand the contact list to include details like title and department and to change the list so that it reades first name first, then last name, then email then phone number, essentially changing the column order.

Hi Pablo, You can easily do this by adding a site column called Department which is in the Core Contact and Calendar Columns group. As for Title you can add that as a normal column. To change the list so that it reads in the order you want you can change the view - or - if you mean change the order when the data is entered (new item or edit item) use managed content types to do this (Advanced Settings Manage Content Types), then alter the order of the Contacts content type. Specifically: List Settings, Add from Existing Site Columns, Core Contact and Calendar Columns - select Department List Settings, Advanced Settings, Allow Management of Content Types = YES, OK, Click the Content Type and alter the order there. List Settings, View - Change order And, as for Title you would have to Add the column into the list. BTW, I'm not sure why you would want to add Title since that is not a field from Outlook - remember the Contacts List allows integration with Outlook and thats why you use the available site columns to map. Hope this helps Geoff
