Please log in for more thread options Can someone explain the logic of the Skype contact list order? I have Skype contact entries such as: pc Alex pc Barry pc Charles ... ph Amy ph Barbara ph Cindy Where pc indicates a computer-to-computer connection and ph indicates a Skype-Out computer-to-telephone connection. I would like the order in the contact list to be as shown above. But, for some strange reason, the Skype contact list order is all jumbled up. That is, it certainly isn't alphabetical. What is the "logic" of the Skype contact list order? How does one change it to be purely alphabetical (like it should be)? Thanks in advance, Cindy | |||||||||||||

Maybe the order is

At present I have three contacts on line, sorted in surname order. Below that are two or three groups of names each also sorted in surname order. -- Thoss | |||||||||||||
