How can I sort contacts by date added? Is there a way to sort contacts by date added, or at least see contacts that have been recently added? I'm running android os 2.2.
This is useful if you want programmatic and CLI access to your contacts in sorted order.

If you're on Android then most probably your phone contacts are synced with your Google account's contacts which you can access using Google Contacts. Now, using the Google Command Line Tools you can return contacts in order of filing if no other sort method is set.

For example, use the following command to get all contacts in a text file in recently added order:

google contacts list ".*" &gt; output.txt


Cheers.
