Issues with "Groups" in Contacts after iOS 9 upgrade

Does anyone know if any latest Betas have this fixed, or are we suppose to find a work around on our own ????

I have about 200 Groups that are all randomly displayed.

There is no organization based on when they were created.

Some of my oldest groups are displayed first, the newest one is about in the middle

You all might want to check the contents of your Groups.

My iCloud has developed an issue where it is depopulating all of the Contacts out of the Groups they're in.

On my laptop all of the Groups are displayed alphabetically in Address Book but they are all empty. There are no Contacts in any of the Groups. That's 1,840 Contacts organized across about 200 Groups. That is: previously organized.

On my iPhone all of the Groups are displayed randomly & they also have no Contacts in them.

Apple is aware of this.

They said that Groups being depopulated is a known issue "sometimes" in El Capitan.

They are aware of Groups being displayed randomly in iOS 9.

Beware of 3rd Party Apps for organizing Groups. My depopulating issue began after a 3rd party app was installed at the Apple Store to see if it would display Groups alphabetically. No way of knowing at this point if that is what caused this to happen.

Waiting to hear back from Apple.

Sorry to hear about your issue. I'm beyond ****** off about this, I really hope they fix this ASAP. !!!!!!!!

does anyone know if this ISSUE is fixed with iOS Beta 9.2 ???

The only issue as far as groups resolved in beta is the selection glitch. They still aren't alphabetized. I haven't seen a beta since a week before 9.1 rolled out.

Same issue here, running 9.1 on iPhone 5s and iPad mini

Groups in Contacts are listed in different order on different devices :

• iMac (El Capitan) and iPhone 4 alphabetical with numbers before 'a'
• iPad OS9 non-alpha jumble, numbers at end
• iCloud (thro' browser on iMac) alpha, numbers at end.

Bizarre.

And no way to change the order of Groups anywhere.

This is a key test of 'everything in the cloud'.

First message, issued in 17 September, And to day 23 November...

There is no any solution. And my phone's 97 group still mixed and my daily life goes bad day by day...

Last year i read Steve Jobs' paragraph:

"It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do;

we hire smart people so they tell us what to do."

Now i wonder, where are these smart people?

I think that they cannot anaylze the customer's basic needs...

Apple will start to go down after, Steve's heritage...

I'm on phone...again...with tech support and asked to be transferred to a supervisor who happens to be a Tier II Senior Advisor. She says that no one has elevated this to the importance of sending a request to engineering. Since I mentioned the magic words of "it's affecting my business", she has elevated it to the highest level. I find it interesting that so many people (even though a minority of the Apple Users World) have complained for so long (mid September) and this has not been identified as a problem acute enough to be elevated to engineering. She will be forwarding our communications to the supervisors of the other service people I have talked to earlier who did not elevate the case. And hopefully we will have a fix in the near future.

I wish they would just roll out the beta version to the public. This actually has been fixed but it is still in beta. I wonder why they are dragging their feet?

So I understand it works now? With the beta?

From what we understan, the issue is resolved in the latest beta. I've been "warned" by Apple to not speak my mind about this issue, so I will just say we are ALL hoping 9.2 is released SOON. !!!!!!!!!!'

Senior Advisor called back and said "never mind", they had logged it somewhere else. They have known about the problem since the rollout of IOS 9 and have no fix for it, beta or not, but will let us know when they have one. Time to start shopping for non Apple products....

Someone here said it's fixed in the latest beta, I've spoke with pretty much every "senior adviser" and I highly doubt any of them are on top of what is going on in the beta world. I'm giving it another 2 weeks, then I'm switching to Beta.

It boggles my mind that corporate's answer to issues is to not have any direct answers.
