Nokia :: E72 - Upgraded - Full Contact List In Alphabetical Order - Can't Select Them Quickly

My new E72 doesn't seem to support contact groups as well as my old N73.

Once upon a time I used to prefix contact names with special characters so that I could sort by different types in the contact list.

I then got my N73 with contact groups, so I used those instead and did away with the prefixes in the names.

The N73 let me quickly switch from the full contact list to the groups tab, so that I could then select the appropriate group and find the contact within it that I wanted.

Now I've 'upgraded' to an E72, I still have Groups, but they buried in the the full contact list in alphabetical order, so I can't select them quickly.

To make matters worse, there's no use reverting back to my ol prefixing strategy, because special characters (non alphanum) now seem to be ignored as part of the collating sequence, so I cannot easily influence the order of entries.
