Default Contact Name Order

Outlook 2007

I have my contacts stored as lastname, firstname.

When I am going create or forward an email and press the "To: button", the
names are displayed as firstname, lastname.

How do I get the names to be displayed as lastname, firstname?

Thanks,

Default Contact Name Order

The sorting order of your Contacts folder is independent from the sorting
order of your Address Book.
You can change it by going to;
Tools- Account Settings- tab Address Books- select Outlook Address Book-
button Change...

Thank you!

Worked perfectly. I just have to remember to change to the specific contact
list, but that is not a problem.
