try something like this:

pagelist to show custom table of active contacts:

(:pagelist group=Contacts $:active=1 fmt=#contactstable :)

pagelist template for this, modify to extract the ptv fields required,
change formatting, add more cells etc .
Add to Site.LocalTemplates:

[[#contactstable]]
(:template first:)
||cellpadding=3px border=1
||!First Name ||!Surname ||!Company ||
(:template each:)
||{{=$FullName}$:name1} ||{{=$FullName}$:name2}||{{=$FullName}$company} ||
[[#contactstableend]]

Notes:
The 2 lines after (:template first:) are for general table formatting
and for the table headings.
Active contacts have  a PTV named 'active' set to 1:
(:active: 1:)
inactive ones can have it set to 0.
The pagelist picks out the active ones with parameter $:active=1
The pagelist could have an extra order= parameter if required,
otherwise it is sorted by page name.
