How to create a subgroup within a Contact List.

Subgroups are made by sorting a Contact List alpha-numerically using a specified field name. As such, there are two methods of creating subgroups:


The first method is to add a field that names the group and provide a value to indicate inclusion (e.g. 'yes'). Sorting will then bring all group members together, for example:


id fname sname mobile male
02-543879 Henry Wong 07956 132 *** yes
03-483459 Matthew Beal 07781 123 *** yes
04-765999 David Harry 07940 730 *** yes
03-486759 Jessica Pearson 07771 546 ***

The second method is to add a field that indicates the type of group and provide values that name the group to which an individual contact belongs. Sorting will then bring all like-grouped contacts together for easy selection, for example:


id fname sname mobile gender
02-543879 Henry Wong 07956 132 *** male
03-483459 Matthew Beal 07781 123 *** male
04-765999 David Harry 07940 730 *** male
03-486759 Jessica Pearson 07771 546 *** female
