INSTANT MESSAGING

Sorting the Instant Messaging Contact List
Note The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus Sametime server, and only for Windows versions of IBM Lotus Notes.

IBM Workplace Managed Client users: If your company uses IBM Workplace Collaboration Services for instant messaging, features may differ from the IBM Lotus Sametime instant messaging features described here. For information on instant messaging with Workplace Collaboration Services, see the Instant Contacts section of IBM Workplace Managed Client Help.

By default, the Instant Messaging Contact List displays groups and people's names within private groups in the order that you add them. If you prefer, you can display groups and people within private groups in alphabetical order.

Note Public groups always display their members' names in alphabetical order.

1. Choose File - Preferences - User Preferences.

2. Click Instant Messaging - Options.

3. Select "Show list sorted."

Note If you have used the standalone IBM Lotus Sametime Connect client and set a preference for list sorting there, Notes uses your preference as the default.
