Not quite sure what you're trying to do. Where do you want a contact to
"show up"? If you want to sort your contacts by company, then that's quite
possible. E.g. open Contacts (Ctrl-Shift-C), select View > List view and
Show preview pane. You'll probably see three data columns. Right click on
each column in turn and choose what you want to appear in that column. Then
left click to sort by that column.
But you'll soon learn that it's much quicker and simpler just to start
typing a name (like a company name) in the To: field of a new email - the
more you type, the shorter the list of possible candidates. Select the
one(s) you want and away you go.
