How Contacts appear is completely dependent on which view you are using and
we have no idea in which view you are having problems. We don't even know
your Outlook version.

In my Contacts, certain, seemingly random names are reversed in the "Full
Name" field. Although each name is listed as FIRST NAME John and LAST
NAME
Smith, the contact then appears as FULL NAME Smith John.

I have the settings set consistently to show the "Full Name" as Last
First.
The settings include:
-- ToolsAccount SettingsAddress BookChange Show names by First Last
-- ToolsOptionsContact OptionsDefault "Full Name" order First (Middle)
Last and Default "file as" order First Last.

Are there other settings I am missing? Any idea what could be causing
this?

Thanks.
