List contacts first names alphabetically

[paul1]

Good morning,

I am new to Hubspot but thoroughly enjoying the programme, I am trying to display the first name of my contacts in alphabetical order, I can see it does this with the surname but I can't see how to do it with the contacts first name, can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Thank you in advance Paul

Hi Paul, 

You can add first name as an indiviudal column on the contacts display - go to actions > edit cloumns and search for first name. 

Once the column is added, you can sort it alphabetically. 

Hope that helps.

Phil,

Hi. If you add the First Name column it creates a redundancy, since there are two columns now on the screen called Name and First Name. For whatever reason, removing the Name cloumn is not possible through Actions -> Edit Settings, even if you add additional First Name and Last Name columns, which would be great for sorting purposes, but not too great, if you want to limit what you see in the browser screen. Do admin users have this right or it's a general rule in HubSpot? Thank you in advance!

Good morning Phil,

Thank you so much for your reply and solving my problem, I always thought that its better to try and work issues out on your own which I attempted in this case, but clearly reaching out to an expert can save a lot of time.....enjoy the rest of your day cheers Paul
