将电子邮件和社交网络帐户添加到人(People)脉应用程序后，您可能会发现您的联系人列表变得有些不规则。即使按姓名排序并包含图片也可能不足以帮助您快速找到所需的人。幸运的是，Windows 8 联系人(People)应用程序具有多种内置方法，可帮助您筛选、排序和搜索(sort and search)您的列表，无论您有多少联系人，都可以轻松快速地找到您需要的人。
如何隐藏某些(Certain)帐户的联系人
如您所知，您的联系人(People)联系人来自链接您的电子邮件帐户和社交网络帐户。虽然来自Facebook(Facebook)的大多数朋友和工作中的电子邮件联系人都会很有用，但您可能不想让您在Twitter 上(Twitter)关注的名人、节目和公司堵塞您的列表。在这种情况下，您可以轻松地从列表中删除Twitter或任何其他帐户的联系人。
为此，您需要访问Charms。不确定它们是如何工作的？看看这篇文章：介绍 Windows 8：什么是魅力(Charms)？

如何按姓氏对联系人列表进行排序(People Contacts List)
既然您已将联系人列表缩减为所需的内容，您可能需要考虑对其进行排序以更轻松地找到朋友。默认情况下，人员(People)按联系人的名字排序。虽然这对某些人来说似乎是合乎逻辑的，但其他人可能更喜欢更传统的姓氏排序过程。如果是您，请按上述方法返回“选项(Options)”菜单。移动菜单顶部的滑块以更改您的排序首选项。单击(Click)箭头返回主页面。
如何搜索您的联系人列表
即使删除了某些帐户，您仍然可能会发现您的联系人列表太大而无法快速找到一个人。您可以利用内置的搜索功能(search feature)立即找到您的朋友，而不是滚动浏览并寻找特定的名字。
只需从“人员(People)”主页输入联系人姓名，搜索(Search)栏就会自动打开以收集您的输入。
单击或点击(Click)搜索栏(search bar)上的放大镜以查看您的搜索(Search)结果。单击(Click)或点击您朋友的姓名以查看他们的页面。
如何隐藏离线联系人
既然您知道如何搜索和排序您的联系人列表，您应该可以轻松找到特定的人。但是，如果您心中没有特定的人怎么办？也许你只是想找人聊天。在这种情况下，您可以隐藏所有联系人以仅显示在线的人。
为此，请右键单击或从人物(People's)主页底部向上滑动。单击打开的菜单右下角的“仅限在线” 。("Online only")
人们(People)现在将删除您的离线联系人，让您快速查看在线的朋友并为您提供聊天乐趣。

How to Sort & Manage Contacts in the Windows 8 People App
After you've added your email and social networking accounts to the People app, you may find that your list of contacts is getting a bit unruly. Even sorted by name and including pictures may not be enough to help you find the person you need quickly. Luckily, the Windows 8 People app has a number of built-in ways to help filter, sort and search through your list which makes finding the person you need simple and fast, regardless of how many contacts you have.
How to Hide Contacts from Certain Accounts
As you know, your People contacts come from linking your email accounts and social networking accounts. While most friends from Facebook and email contacts from work will be useful, you may not want to clog up your list with celebrities, shows and companies that you follow on Twitter. In a situation like this, you can easily remove Twitter, or any other account's, contacts from the list.
To do this, you'll need to access the Charms. Not sure how they work? Take a look at this article: Introducing Windows 8: What are the Charms?
Click or tap "Settings" in the list of Charms.
Select "Options" from the Settings menu.
Read through the list of your attached accounts and deselect any that you don't wish to view contacts from.
The accounts you un-check will be removed automatically from your contacts list. You will still see all of the Notifications and recent activity from the appropriate areas.
How to Sort People Contacts List by Last Name
Now that you've got your contact list pared down to just what you need, you may want to consider sorting it to make finding friends easier. By default People sorts by your contact's first names. While this may seem logical for some, others may prefer a more traditional last name sorting procedure. If this is you, return to the Options menu as described above. Move the slider at the top of the menu to change your sorting preference. Click the arrow to return to the main page.
How to Search your Contact List
Even with certain accounts removed, you still may find that your contact list is too large to find a person quickly. Rather than scrolling through and seeking a specific name, you can take advantage of the built-in search feature to find your friend instantly.
Simple start to type your contact's name from the People main page and the Search bar will automatically open to collect your input.
Click or tap the magnifying lens on the search bar to view your Search results. Click or tap your friend's name to view their page.
How to Hide Offline Contacts
Now that you know how to search and sort your contacts list, you should have no trouble finding a specific person. But, what if you don't have a specific person in mind? Maybe you just want to find someone to chat. For times like this you can hide all of your contacts to show only those who are online.
To do this, right-click or swipe up from the bottom of People's main page. Click "Online only" from the bottom right corner of the menu that opens up.
People will now remove your offline contacts giving you a quick view of your friends who are online and available for your chatting pleasure.
Conclusion
The Windows 8 People app is a worthwhile tool. Not only does it give you the means to collect all of your varied acquaintances from around the Web, but it makes managing this large repository a cinch. With this knowledge, you'll never have to waste time looking for someone's information, you'll be able to bring it up in only a few seconds time.
