you can sort on any word you want by giving a prefix argument to
bbdb-record-edit-name. i.e., put point on a record's name and do "C-u e",
and it will prompt you for first and last name separately. it will sort
on whatever you specify as the last name.
for non-humans, you could also leave the name blank and just enter in
something in the company field too, though sorting-wise this won't help
you.
and re, phone # behavior, you can change this with:
`bbdb-north-american-phone-numbers-p' (buffer: *Hyper Apropos*, mode: Hyper-Apropos)
Customizable user variable:
value: t
*Set this to nil if you want to enter phone numbers that aren't the same
syntax as those in North America (that is, [[1] nnn] nnn nnnn ['x' n*]).
If this is true, then some error checking is done so that you can't enter
incorrect phone numbers, and all phone numbers are pretty-printed the same
way. European phone numbers don't have as strict a syntax, however, so
this is a harder problem for them (on which I am punting).
You can have both styles of phone number in your database by providing a
prefix argument to the bbdb-insert-new-field command.
Property-list:
custom-requests: nil
custom-type: boolean
