I currently file all my contacts by company name first under the
'file as' option. I now want to change that to file by name first,
but I have a lot of contacts. Is there a way to change them all at
one time, or do I have to change each one individually? Or is there
an app out there that can do it?

There are apps that will do it. One of them is
