 * Hi [@techma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/techma/),
 * Thanks for contacting me! Are you already using the plugin? I could not find 
   it on the URL that you provided.
 * But yes, the behaviour of this plugin is that is always sorts entries alphabetically
   🙂
 * Kind regards, Jeroen

 * Also if I select 2 columns and the content of the 2 items are different the sizing
   looks strange is there a way to make them always be the same size ?

 * Yes, that is right. A column in Name Directory works like this. It divides the
   entries in the amount of columns and then creates X columns and puts the names
   in it. From top to bottom, then another column next to it.

 * Do you mean the size of the entries itself? I understand your question, but not
   everyone wants it that way. Also I do not have a css/styling framework included
   to arrange those things. However, Name Directory has lots of ‘hooks’ in css where
   you can apply styling if you want. In your case you could style the ‘name_directory_name_box’
   to have the right size for your website 🙂
 * I hope that might clarify things and help you. If you have more questions, please
   let me know.
 * Kind regards Jeroen
