Filtering out "own" contacts in a public contact folder

I have public "Contact" folder that is shared by multiple people. How can
users filter only "own" items, i.e. contacts that each person created.



I guess I can create a custom field for storing creator information and
filtering on it, but this would add hassle for users filling this field.

You could use the built in Category field at the bottom of the contacts. Add each users name to the Master Category list and then set the default view on the folder to be by Category. Each user will have their contacts grouped together. Of course the users will have to set the option for each contact

It has to be a "hands down" solution, so users do not have to do anything
extra filter out contacts their own contacts ( i.e. contacts that they
created).

MS Exchange keeps track on who created a each contact entry. When you right
click a Contact folder and go to Permissions, you can see "Own" setting. So
information about item ownership is recorded automatically. I am trying to
find how to make filter using built in ownership information .
