Your operating system has nothing to do with this, so your "new Vista" is
not in play. State your Outlook version. State what view you are trying to
sort.

In the new Vista I am unable to get my contacts by their last name first
and
then given name such as Smith, Jane. I have changed this in the tools
option
but it doesn't seem to work.
Have I missed another step? Thank you. June.
