View Categories on Blackberry

[Anna]

Hi all - my manager has his Outlook contacts set to be viewed/sorted with
"File As" field.

My question is can categories be seen on the Blacberry the way he sees/sorts
the contacts as the File As field?

Hope I haven't confused anyone - let me know if I have.

Thanks & take care, Anna Marie

Yes, I am confused. You can filter by categories on the blackberry - for
example, I applied the BB category to the contacts I want/need on the BB and
set it to filter out all the others.

My manager uses the field File As differently then I have seen others, for
example. I use the field to view every one in my contacts as Last name, First
name. My manager will ask me to file a contact as in that field as
"Salesperson - Company Name". So he ends up having all these different
combinations and its a little confusing.

I suggested instead of using the File As field, maybe I could create a
category named Salesperson but before I do that he wants to make sure he will
be able to see them grouped that way on the BB.

"grouped" is not how the blackberry does it - there is a Filter option on
the blackberry menu and you select the categories you want to see. If he
selects more than one category, the contacts won't be grouped by category,
just sorted by name.
