bobmac1547, similar to how you can currently mark notes or email folders as favorites?

I am sorry, but I don't use either module so I can't really give an opinion. But I refer to the way you can do it typically on an Android phone in the contacts.

Currently there is an issue that when you use "system epim account " you cannot Mark a contact as a favorite. That causes the user to have to search or scroll through a potentially huge number of contacts thus reducing productivity.

Thank you for your question of clarification

I simply created a contact group called 'favorites' - enables me to select the group and view them quickly. As you can assign multiple groups to a contact, I use them as keywords too. Hope that helps.

Thanks, dd1

That works Within epim but it does not work on the phone side of the contacts. That's what I'm really looking for.

I do the same at DD1 and it works in my Galaxy S25+ Android phone just fine. Which phone do you have bobmac1547?

Yas. I see it now on aepim. But going to the groups requires extra clicks or taps. What I'm looking for is for the favorite contacts to come up at the top of the contacts list so you don't need to go into groups, then find the group, then find the contact, and then make the phone call.

In my opinion, having the favorites at the top of the contacts list would make it much easier and more productive.
