I would like to be able to print out the address card view, with the contacts
sorted in the following order:
- category
- last name
- first name
Is this possible?
Thank you.

Category sort is meaningless and impossible, since any contact may be listed
under multiple categories.

Thanks for replying quickly. I see your point.

That said, here's what I want to do, is there a workaround? I like printing
out the address card view. I'd prefer to be able to print out just the
personal listings. Could I create a field called personal, then alphabetize
first by this new field (personal/non personal), and second by last name? Or
can you think of another work around?

Thanks for your help.

You can create a new address card view with a filter set to show only those
items that meet your criteria, e.g. Categories = Personal.
