Phone book entries and speed buttons often become nightmares of ‘no longer truly alphabetical’ lists.
Axelrod can end up among the first speed dial buttons while Aaron rests near the end because of the original order of input. Scrolling can no longer rely on alphabetical parameters - other than knowing the first letter the listing comes under.
PHONE DIALER EX uniquely and selectively sorts each alphabetical index , letter by letter or the whole address book. And allows an alphabetical sort for all entries under each Subject Heading tab.
Enter and move on. Sort at any time, as often as you like - for the sake of one new entry or to quickly tidy up weeks of entries. (See FAQ #12 for how to do this)
