Hi all,

All my contacts are listed in my Contact App. I have three Groups, Blandford SAC. - Family - Friends.

They are all alphabetically listed in "All Contacts" and in each individual group.

When I send an e-mail to a member of the group and Bcc. or Ccc. the other members in the same group, their names come up randomly, not in alphabetical order as I would have expected.

Is their a way round this please or must I accept this as "One of those things?"

I am running Contacts version 9.0

I think you probably have to accept it but if you can tell us why it's important to have them listed in the email in alphabetical order, there may be an alternative.

Be careful Mick, if he told us that he might have to kill us all!

Hi Mick,

Thank you for your reply, in answer to your question: When I send a "communication" to some of our members it is easy to Bcc all members then delete those that I do not want to receive the communication. If the names in the Bcc are in alphabetical order, this makes it easier to delete those names that are unwanted.

Eric, who is he? I have a name??

I think what I would do, assuming you want to send to a subset of your larger group each time, is open the group and, assuming there are not hundreds in there, select each one you want to mail this time and then from the file menu (of Contacts) choose New Group From Selection. Mail this 'new group' then delete it ready for the next time.

If it's only a few who do not need this email, you could try it the other way round - select all the ones who you don't want to email, then use Edit>Remove from Group, mail the group and then click back on contacts and click Edit>Undo and keep your fingers crossed it puts them all back ;-) (It does)

You have to select the members of the group to Bcc them so just select the members you wish to include.
