I have just installed Entourage 2004 on my mac, I have been importing my contacts from an csv file. As I am in the wedding industry, I need to sort my contact by their wedding date. So I set up the "custom date 1" to be called wedding date and set it up to be a sort category on the main address book window.
The problem is that having imported all the details, the address book is sorting the dates as if they are numbers, not dates, eg 1-Jul-08 1-Jul-09 2-Aug-07
However I know that the program recognizes them as dates as when I one of the contacts, the little calendar symbol appears beside the wedding date, asking my if I want to add that date to the calendar, when I click it it says"Tue 01 Jul 2008" in the start date filed.
