Same request has been reported on following as Domino side.
https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-2022
But since it must also be implemented on the client side, the request is also raised on the Notes side here.
---------------
We can set "Phonetic name" (AltFullNameSort field) in Person doc (Miscellaneous tab) of Domino Directory, but when We send emails using a Notes client or other Domino related product(iNotes, Verse), those values can't be added to the Notes mail documents.
The values of the AltFullNameSort field should be also set at like following fields when the mail is sent so that folders and views on the Notes mail database can also be able to sort by those Phonetic names.
AltFromSort
AltSendToSort
AltCopyToSort
AltBindCopyToSort
At the same time, I would like to see improvements to the mail database where these values can be used and sorted by "Phonetic name:"
This is because if the Alternate Name is Japanese, the sorting will be in SJIS code order, which is difficult for users to understand.
