Is there a way to force the contacts list to sort differently than alphabetical? Perhaps by extension number? I really only care for one or two extensions to always appear at the top of the list, but don’t want to place “AA_”, “AB_”, etc. in front of them.
See below:

</phonebooks>On this contacts list, I want the Front Desk to always appear at the top of the list. I don’t really care what order the rest are in (alpha, numeric, whatever). In the real use, there are 4 extensions I want at the top (sorted 1,2,3,4) followed by the rest that can be sorted however.
I tried is to insert a non-printing ascii character (using both NUL & STX), but that didn’t work either. NUL sorted to the end of the list, and STX seemed to be ignored.
