ABSTRACT:
A method and system providing category based sort and display instructions for a computer system having a database of information stored therein are described. A database of contact information is maintained in the computer with each record containing information related to a personal contact. Each record can be assigned a custom category type defining the kind of contact that the record is. The user is allowed to display a condensed listing of the contacts associated with each category. When the list is displayed, the list can be sorted by a field specific to that category type. Each category type can have its own sorting instructions. The sorting instructions also define the way in which the lists are displayed. The user can define and edit the category based instructions at any time.
