Dear Garmt,


Thanks for the feedback and the complements. I'll add the skype ID.
About the sorting, I can easily seperate the last name and the first
name(s), and sort by the former. However, for most of the members I have
only one string, their email address, which, in many cases contain the
full name in the order first name, last name. If I do the sorting, and
most do not update their data, the sorting will look strange. What do
you think?


Best,


Zvi.
