I want to add a new "file as:" type. How?

[Jason]

Is there a way to add a new file as format? For some of the vendors that I
work with, I like to file them by their company, but I hate the Last, First
format.

I'd like to file them as:

Company Name (First Last)

But it's not an option. Is there a way to create it?

Thanks.

You can try - see http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/file-as.htm - use
..CompanyName & "(" & .Fullname & ")" format. Note that if one of the
fields isn't present you'll end up with brackets regardless.

Just for the sake of accuracy - using <FullName> would result in the Title,
MiddleName, and Suffix also being included (if present). If only the First &
Last Name are desired - the format should be .CompanyName & "(" & .FirstName
& " " & .LastName & ")".
