I use separate containers items for such things, which doesn't help your problem.. But on items that are non-people related, like FAX numbers, Pager Number, etc.. I use specific naming context related to that item.
For instance on Pagers I use a P in front of there name and I don't use the display(Friendly) name, I use the SMTP name.
This typically resolves that problem...

Subject: GAL sorting
Question is:
Winnt 4.0 SP6a
Exch 5.5 SP3
We use both an internet connector and a text paging connector (PageMaster). Many of our users have two addresses in the GAL, one for their email and the other for their pager. When doing a GAL lookup to send email, sometimes the email address is first and occasionally the pager is first. While the icon in front of the address differentiates the two, we often have complaints from users because their pager is first and other users send email to the pager instead of the email account.
Is there a way to sort the GAL so that email addresses is always first. Does anyone know why exchange seems to put the addresses in the GAL randomly?
Thanks
