address book-out of order

L

littlegorilla

I'm running Office X v.10.1.4 (with 10.1.5 update) on a dual USB G3
iBook with OS 10.3 (but the problem has been since OS 10.1) along with
a Handspring "Edge" w/ Palm 4.1

Whenever I create a new address or edit an existing one in Entourage,
the listings are placed out of alphabetical order on my handheld after
syncing.
The new or edited entries are placed at the beginning of my handheld's
address list. and random addresses are placed out of order throughout
my address list. The
only way I have been able to fix this is to manually edit the entries
on my handheld (by entering a "space" after the name). Please help.
Thank you.

I seem to recall the same problem that I had when I first migrated over to
Entourage. They were out of order on the Palm, and any type of editing like
putting in a space, or backing up a character and then replacing it with the
same one - anything that actually changes any of the entry fields - would
put it back in alphabetical order when I left that contact. The bug is
somewhere between Entourage and the Palm device, nothing to do with the OS.
I think it has something to do with going back and forth between using
Entourage, then iSync, or Entourage and Palm Desktop. It happened that one
time, and then after I had them all back in order, it never happened again.
