Summary: No way to choose what summary data is displayed in
Contacts overview
Description:
Unless I've missed something, there appears to be no way to select which
field of a person's data is displayed next to their name in the Contacts
initial view. Beaming contacts over via ObEx from a Palm particularly
breaks things, as seemingly random fields (from job title to phone number
to city) show up. There needs to be a way to adjust this.
Also, the Contacts overview should probably provide indication of what
field is being displayed. Check Palm's Address app for an example.

This issue is known and it is being worked on.

Incidentally, there -is- a way to globally modify what fields are preferred
-- via the Adjust Edit Field Order dialog. Non-obvious, eh? This still
doesn't let you change it on a record-by-record basis.

Obvisously there are some things even I can learn- It really works on a
global basis.

However I am not closing it, as there might be indeed a chance to specify
which field of an entry should be displayed => Feature
