Can I sort the contact list?

Post by MyOwnMJ »

Is there a why to sort the contact list on the MJ softpad? For me, it looks like the first entries go towards the bottom of the list. thx

The names on the contact list are auto sorted from A-Z.....you have no control over how they are arranged, it's done automaticly.

Thanks. I see what you are saying. The list gets resorted the next time I plugged the MJ device back in the USB port and MJ reinstalled itself. Now the list is sorted.

Well, you do have an option for some control.
If there is a name(s) that you want to be on the top of the list, you can enter a 1 for the first one and then 2 for the second, etc..

If you right click on the MJ icon there is an "Advanced Users" option, click "Restart" - It will quickly restart without the "Ad" screen and resort your new Contact adds.

However I just lost my Contact List and can't figure how to get it back. I did make a copy in the MJ folder on My Computer, but its not there. I am bummed, but maybe my 9 year old can put them back in.

The contact list is stored in AddressBook.xml on your magicJack drive.
