Newton MessagePad: Name Cards Don‘t Appear in Overview

When I list the cards in my Name File (by tapping the dot at the bottom of the screen), the cards aren't listed alphabetically by company name and don't appear next to the first letter in the company name.

For example, I have a card with a company called "Telephone Company" and it does not show up under the T's in the list.

Why is this?
When you list your Newton MessagePad's Name File, the name cards will be displayed in alphabetical order based on either last name or company name.

If a name card only has a company name and its last name field is empty, it will not be placed under a letter in the overview list. Instead, it will be put at the top of the list with no letter next to it. To display such a card in alphabetical order by last name, you must:

1) Use the Find function to find the appropriate card. Tap Show, then tap All Info.
2) Tap List by, then tap Last Name.


The same problem can also occur if you select List by Company, but the name card has no data in the company field. To display such a card in alphabetical order by company, you must:

1) Use the Find function to find the appropriate card. Tap Show, then tap All Info.
2) Tap List by, then tap Company.
