Hi

When i receive an SMS from a contact in my phone, its displayed as last name first then first name. I have already changed this so when i look through my contacts it displays the first name first then the second name. However i can't seem to find any option of changing this when viewing messages in my inbox. Does anyone know of a way to change this?

Cheers

if i'm nost mistaken, there is no way to change it..
maybe i'm not aware of one..
maybe new fw will integrate this option..
anyway..this is not a problem if u ask me..
so..
stay cool..

and when John Doe sends u sms, it will say from: DOE JOHN
your solution is for sorting contacts
that's not the answet to this q's..

Hmmm seems to work ok on mine however it wont change messages that have already been recieved.

Unless you have dodgy firmware you can try an update.
